Will stablecoins be banned in the United States by the end of 2023?
Market Rules
In August 2021 the chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Gary Gensler made public statements in favor of prioritizing the regulation of cryptoasset transactions, decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, and stablecoins.
In July 2021 almost three-quarters of all transactions in cryptoasset platforms involved stablecoins. The value of many stablecoins is linked to volatile commercial and financial assets, which offer risks to its investors that are much higher than the risks of other financial assets and institutions regulated in the United States. Additionally, stablecoins could allegedly be harmful to the implementation of central bank digital currencies if not regulated.
If any nationwide legislation that prohibits the investment or sale of all private financial assets qualified as stablecoins in the United States gets approved by December 31st, 2023, this market will be resolved as "Yes".
