Preventing cryptocurrency providers from repeating the crimes against low- and moderate-income residents of color traditional big banks have is critically important. That's why I'm proud to introduce the #STABLEAct with @RepChuyGarcia and @RepStephenLynch. https://t.co/yorQPo6wz4

Any centralized points of failure will be stifled by regulation written by those who do not understand what we are building. https://t.co/RGrdfx51L1
Basically @RepRashida what you are aiming to do is to hinder innovation and making “stable coins” more like banksters. Total nonsense. https://t.co/QmQ5YBkggB

This is essentially an act to hold SC issuers accountable for their reserves. No more printing money out of thin air. Proof of reserve is required to issue. 1:1 (SC to Dollar as an example)

That liquidity will leave and flow into more liquid assets https://t.co/Itfx2l3qDx
MUST READ as it has profound implications for the digital asset space. Fiat is a sovereign product, challenges to that sovereignty will be crushed. If the primary driver of liquidity in digital asset markets is false (no Proof of Reserve) DAs, then this will ameliorate that. https://t.co/Gw3Dt7WJvk

"Digital currencies, whose value is permanently pegged to or stabilized against a conventional currency like the dollar, pose new regulatory challenges while also represent a growing source of the market, liquidity, and credit risk." https://t.co/As5IH1Io2e
Retweets don't equal endorsement and all, but this is a good thread. The regulatory treatment--heck, the regulatory understanding!--of digital currencies and such is way behind the technology. Seeing some momentum--even things I don't agree with completely--is good. https://t.co/JCAnT9Y1oL

1. Stablecoin issuers could take advantage of low income consumers
2. Stablecoins are an ‘outsourced issuance’ of US dollars
3. Stablecoins pose market, liquidity, and credit risk
But all of these concerns are misplaced??https://t.co/g997ym8zCV
テック企業は投資で損をしないと顧客に約束する事で、米ドルや規制された銀行と競合する規制されてない『ステーブルコイン』を推進している。STABLE法は、顧客の預金を保証する会社が保険付き預託銀行として適切に規制されてる事を保証する事で、この逃避に終止符を打つだろうhttps://t.co/sjXFBo8QKI
