To provide for the regulation of payment stablecoins, and for other purposes, Sec. 4

Subsection (a)(12)(B)(i). The committee must find three things: that issuance will not pose a material risk to the safety and soundness of the United States banking system, to the financial stability of the United States or to the Deposit Insurance Fund; that the company will comply with data use limitations under which nonpublic personal information from stablecoin transaction data may not be used to target, personalize or rank advertising or other content, sold to a third party, or shared with non-affiliates without the consumer's consent; and that the company and its affiliates will comply with the tying prohibitions. Sharing to comply with law, with an authorized investigation, or in response to judicial process is excepted. Subparagraph (C) extends the bar to a company not domiciled in the United States or its territories that is not predominantly engaged in financial activities. Under subparagraph (D) the committee is to issue an interpretive rule within one year of enactment.

That sentence, in plain words

A listed firm whose main work is not finance faces a bar. It may not put out one of these coins. It needs a yes from all three members of the panel.

What this is about

The panel weighs risk to banks and to the wider system. It also looks at how the firm would use customer data. The firm may not sell that data or use it for ads.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
