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.
“If we’re going to have a CBDC, Congress needs to authorize it,” he said on the topic of Central Bank Digital Currencies (<a href="https://crypto.news/tag/cbdc/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/tag/cbdc/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CBDC</a>), according to <a href="https://www.politico.com/newsletters/morning-money" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.politico.com/newsletters/morning-money" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Politico</a>.
