Executives’ Impression on Stablecoins

Warren Davidson, is an active advocate of the cryptocurrency among the congressmen members of the House Financial Services Committee. The view of Davidson over the new draft is that overpower is given in the hands of the Federal Reserve. The latest definition for stablecoin mentioned in the framework is “overly broad”.

Another executive who was also present at the Annual Fintech Policy Forum was Rohit Chopra, Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). Rohit believes strongly that stablecoins have extreme adaptivity features in the day-to-day world.  

Rohit stated:

“A stablecoin, riding the rails of a dominant payments system or a mobile OS, I think that could create ubiquity very quickly.”

The inclusion of stablecoins in the major payment portals makes it very common and a must-know element.

Davidson also mentioned that if the bill is not passed by this year-end, then post the elections the Republican government will implement it in the first quarter of 2023.
