La FED vuole un ruolo più importante nella regolamentazione delle Stablecoin

• Jerome Powell ritiene che la FED debba svolgere un ruolo enorme nella regolamentazione delle stablecoin, poiché le vede come una forma di denaro.
• Il disegno di legge, sponsorizzato dai repubblicani, concede agli stati enormi poteri per regolamentare le stablecoin.

Jerome Powell, chairman of the Federal Reserve, spoke in favor of strict central-bank supervision of stablecoin in the policies being developed by members of the House Financial Services Committee. Powell shared his thoughts while speaking at the House Financial Services Committee’s semi-annual udito sulla politica della Fed il 21 giugno.

The proposed stablecoin bill originated from Republicans and would serve as the official piece of crypto regulation in the United States if approved next month. Rep. Maxine Waters, the committee’s top Democrat, in her questioning of Powell, warned that the Fed would be “severely hamstrung” by the new proposal and that there has to be a clear federal floor for regulation of nonbank stablecoin issuers.

Il disegno di legge sponsorizzato dai repubblicani cerca di garantire che gli stati abbiano un ruolo significativo nella supervisione delle stablecoin. Questa è stata una questione controversa dall'inizio dei negoziati lo scorso anno.

Waters warned that the bill would create “58 different licenses with federal regulatory approval over only two of the licenses.” The Democrat added that states, territories, and other jurisdictions will issue the remaining licenses.

Responding to Waters, Powell claimed that the FED sees “payment stablecoins as a form of money and argued that “in all advanced economies, the ultimate source of credibility in money is the central bank.” Powell called for the FED to play a huge role in regulating stablecoins. He added that “it would be appropriate to have quite a robust federal role.”

The 70-year-old Powell further claimed that “allowing a lot of private money creation at the state level would be a mistake.” Interestingly, Powell’s comment on the draft bill saw him take a stance opposed to that of Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Gary Gensler. The controversial SEC Il presidente ritiene che tutte le forme di stablecoin dovrebbero essere registrate e regolamentate.

Powell, like most officials, believed the crypto market had suffered an irreparable loss last year following the decline of top organizations like FTX and Terra. However, the FED chair admitted today that the market “appears to have some staying power.”

Powell ha anche chiarito che la banca centrale è molto lontana dall'istituzione di una CBDC, contrariamente a recenti rapporti. Ha anche affermato che la banca centrale non ha intenzione di gestire i conti al dettaglio se la FED dovesse lanciare un dollaro digitale.
