The newly proposed stablecoin bill by U.S. Senators Cynthia Lummis and Kirsten Gillibrand has sparked significant debate. The legislation aims to establish clear definitions for the issuance of dollar-pegged digital assets. However, it has faced criticism from various quarters, including Coin Center, which argues that the bill stifles technological innovation, breaches the First Amendment, and may be unconstitutional due to its provisions against algorithmic payment stablecoins. Additionally, the bill is seen as potentially beneficial for issuers, possibly sparking mergers and acquisitions, according to TD Cowen.
