American Stablecoin legislation remains on shaky ground as draft bills spark industry division amid Trump 2.0 and a Republican majority, with lobbyists reportedly pushing unconfirmed proposals to ban non-U.S. issuers from buying Treasurys.

U.S. stablecoin legislation is moving forward in Congress, but the process remains politically unsettled as lawmakers and industry groups debate the shape of the final rules. The Senate’s GENIUS Act and the House’s STABLE Act are the main vehicles, and both aim to create a federal framework for “permitted payment stablecoin issuers,” including reserve requirements, redemption rules, reporting, and federal-state oversight arrangements. The legislation also reflects a broader push to bring stablecoins into the regulated U.S. payments system, with implications for banks, nonbank issuers, and global payment firms that want access to the U.S. market.
