Chair

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell addressed House Democrats regarding the necessity of a legislative framework for stablecoins.
“We need a framework for stablecoins [and I’m] very supportive and am glad that we are close,” Powell said in a closed-door meeting with the House Financial Services Committee.
Powell’s engagement with lawmakers emphasizes the Federal Reserve’s commitment to robust oversight in developing stablecoin and CBDC regulations.
