A payment stablecoin is a digital asset the issuer must redeem at a fixed value
What the document says“means a digital asset-- (i) that is, or is designed to be, used as a means of payment or settlement; and (ii) the issuer of which-- (I) is obligated to convert, redeem, or repurchase for a fixed amount of monetary value, not including a digital asset denominated in a fixed amount of monetary value”
Paragraph (22)(A). The term reaches a digital asset that is used, or designed to be used, as a means of payment or settlement, where the issuer is obligated to convert, redeem or repurchase it for a fixed amount of monetary value, and represents that it will maintain, or creates the reasonable expectation that it will maintain, a stable value relative to a fixed amount of monetary value.
What the document actually says“means a digital asset-- (i) that is, or is designed to be, used as a means of payment or settlement; and (ii) the issuer of which-- (I) is obligated to convert, redeem, or repurchase for a fixed amount of monetary value, not including a digital asset denominated in a fixed amount of monetary value”
This is a digital coin used to pay for things. The maker owes you a set amount of money for it. You can hand the coin back and get that money.
The maker also says the coin will hold its value. Or it acts in a way that makes people expect that. The whole law is built on this one term.
