#Federal Reserve Stablecoin Rules Draft

The draft proposed by the Federal Reserve requires the payment stablecoins it regulates to be fully backed with eligible assets such as short-term U.S. Treasuries. Another part also specifies how member-state banks can apply to establish a coin-issuing subsidiary. The draft still awaits revisions.

For issuers, while the bar is raised, the pathway is also spelled out: the eligible reserve asset scope, capital constraints, and approval chain are all supported by specific references. Compliance costs will rise, but uncertainty will decrease. The total stablecoin supply has reached $312915871867, and these rules will directly determine who can remain in the U.S. market.

Assessment: The provisions may still be rewritten, and the two most worth watching are the reserve asset list and the approval standards for bank subsidiary applications.
