What the document says

“The Secretary of the Treasury may create and implement reciprocal arrangements or other bilateral agreements between the United States and jurisdictions with payment stablecoin regulatory regimes that are comparable to the requirements established under this Act.”

To provide for the regulation of payment stablecoins, and for other purposes, Sec. 18

Subsection (d). Three things are to be considered in deciding whether a jurisdiction's requirements qualify: whether they are similar to those under section 4(a), whether they include adequate anti-money laundering, counter-financing of terrorism and sanctions compliance standards, and whether the jurisdiction has adequate supervisory and enforcement capacity to facilitate international transactions and interoperability with dollar-denominated stablecoins issued overseas. Any arrangement is to be published in the Federal Register not later than 90 days before it enters into force, and the Secretary should complete the arrangements within two years of enactment.

What the document actually says

“The Secretary of the Treasury may create and implement reciprocal arrangements or other bilateral agreements between the United States and jurisdictions with payment stablecoin regulatory regimes that are comparable to the requirements established under this Act.”

That sentence, in plain words

The head of the Treasury may set up deals with other places. Each place must have rules much like ours. The deals are made one country at a time.

What this is about

Three things are weighed. They are how close the rules are, the checks on dirty money, and how well the place enforces them. A deal must be printed 90 days ahead.

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.
