Federal stablecoin law refers to national legislation designed to regulate digital assets pegged to a stable value. Such laws typically address issuance requirements, reserve backing, auditing standards, and consumer protection for stablecoins operating within a country’s jurisdiction. The objective is to mitigate financial stability risks and prevent illicit financial activities associated with these digital currencies. It aims to provide a clear legal framework for their operation and oversight.

Policymakers are actively discussing various approaches to stablecoin regulation, weighing innovation against systemic risk. Future legislative efforts will likely standardize requirements for reserve transparency and operational resilience across the industry.
