Non-bank issuers are entities other than traditional commercial banks that issue financial instruments, including stablecoins or other digital assets. These issuers can include fintech companies, specialized payment providers, or decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs). Their activities often operate outside conventional banking regulations, posing unique considerations for financial oversight. They represent a growing segment of the digital asset landscape.
Context
The role of non-bank issuers is a central point of discussion in regulatory debates concerning the stability and oversight of stablecoins and other digital currencies. Concerns often involve consumer protection, financial stability, and anti-money laundering compliance. Future developments will likely see increased regulatory scrutiny and the potential for new licensing frameworks specifically tailored to these types of digital asset providers.
The new federal stablecoin law mandates full reserve backing and public monthly attestations, fundamentally recasting issuance as a federally regulated payments activity.
