To provide for the regulation of payment stablecoins, and for other purposes, Sec. 8

Subsection (b)(4). A foreign payment stablecoin issuer that knowingly continues to offer a stablecoin publicly in the United States after the determination is published faces up to $1,000,000 per violation per day, and the Secretary may seek an injunction in a district court barring it from financial transactions in the United States or with United States persons. Separate acts of noncompliance count as a single violation where they result from a common or substantially overlapping originating cause, unless the Secretary determines that they were the result of gross negligence, reckless disregard for, or a pattern of indifference to, money laundering, terrorist financing or sanctions evasion requirements. The Secretary may bring a civil action to recover a penalty or to seek an injunction against an issuer or a service provider.

That sentence, in plain words

A digital coin firm that breaks the ban on purpose can be fined. The fine can reach a hundred thousand dollars a day.

What this is about

A foreign maker that keeps selling faces a bigger fine. It can reach a million dollars a day. The Treasury can also ask a court to shut it out.

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.
