The United States has officially passed the STABLE Act, setting regulatory guidelines for all USD-pegged stablecoins, including Tether (USDT) and Circle (USDC). Marking a significant milestone for the U.S. stablecoin industry, the legislation was approved by the House Financial Services Committee with a 32-17 vote, bringing much-needed clarity to the digital asset sector.
After a 13-hour-long discussion, Financial Services Committee Chair Rep. French Hill and Subcommittee Chair Rep. Bryan Steil announced their decision to pass the much-awaited stablecoin legislation.
The STABLE Act seeks to provide a comprehensive regulation for stablecoin payments to function freely in the US financial system. It would create a regulatory framework specifically designed for USD-pegged stablecoins while maintaining an effective balance between technological innovation and consumer protection. Key provisions of the STABLE Act include:
Previously, US President Donald Trump stated that stablecoins are important to the US economy and would help maintain the dominance of the US Dollar in the global market. Speaking on the development, Congressman Dan Meuser stated:
“The STABLE Act reinforces the U.S. dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency by ensuring stablecoins operate within a secure, dollar-backed framework, in America. It will make payments faster, cheaper, and more accessible, reducing costs to the benefit of businesses and consumers alike”.
The announcement comes at a time when President Donald Trump announced reciprocal tariffs while triggering strong volatility in global markets.
Traditional US banks are once again joining the stablecoin bandwagon, showing growing interest in the USD-pegged digital assets.
Global banks and fintech firms are also introducing their own stablecoins, leveraging growing adoption and supportive regulations. Adding to a roster of payment providers like Standard Chartered, PayPal, and Revolut, Bank of America (BoA) is now exploring the possibility of launching its own stablecoin.
Similarly, two weeks ago, Custodia Bank and Vantage Bank have made history by launching the first U.S. bank-issued stablecoin on a permissionless blockchain. Named Avit, the stablecoin was issued, transferred, and redeemed on the Ethereum network.
