On the other side, Paul Grewal, the Chief Legal Officer at Coinbase, expressed his opinion on the stablecoin legislation in the United States. He said the regulatory environment around the US stablecoin legislation is the “most confused.”

Stablecoins Are Here To Stay

Grewal stressed on the question of whether or not the United States could embrace the stablecoin market or lose it offshore. In June 2023, the US House Financial Services Committee had released a draft stablecoin bill “The Future of Digital Assets: Providing Clarity for the Digital Asset Ecosystem.” However, there was a no deal scenario in the US Congress as negotiation talks failed.

Of all the hostilities towards digital asset legislation, the hostility towards US stablecoin legislation is the most confused. Dollar-backed stablecoins are here whether you like it or not. The only question is whether we'd rather them onshore and regulated, or offshore and not.
