 <p>The Federal Reserve, America’s central banking system, debates the implications of growing cryptocurrency prevalence.</p> 
 <p>Both Chairman Jerome Powell and Vice Chairman Lael Brainard have voiced their concerns. Powell pushes for strong oversight on stablecoins, emphasizing their treatment as real money and the necessity of central bank backing for credibility.</p> 
 <p>Brainard underscores the inadequacies of current laws to address cryptocurrency nuances, urging crypto-specific regulations to maintain financial integrity and safeguard investors.</p> 
 <p>Though the Federal Reserve influences monetary policy, directly regulating cryptocurrencies largely rests with the US Treasury and the SEC. Nonetheless, the Federal Reserve’s insights remain crucial in shaping a holistic regulatory framework for the US crypto industry.</p>
