The United States House of Representatives Committee on Financial Services will hold a hearing on stablecoin regulation on April 19. The hearing follows the announcement of a new draft bill in the House to provide a framework for stablecoins regulation. Some of the speakers invited have released advance transcripts of their planned testimony.
Stablecoins “look a lot like pretty basic cash instruments. […] Stablecoins are actually mundane,” Austin Campbell, a managing partner at Zero Knowledge Consulting and adjunct professor at Columbia Business School, will tell the committee. Campbell is convinced that stablecoins will expand the reach of the U.S. dollar and increase financial inclusion if legislation does not derail their progress.
