Justin Tallis | Afp | Getty ImagesThe CEO of Circle, the company behind popular stablecoin USD Coin, sees a strong chance that laws for stablecoin issuers like itself will come through in 2024. The U.S. is yet to pass federal crypto regulation, even as jurisdictions around the world are approving new crypto-focused laws. But Jeremy Allaire, Circle's boss and co-founder, hopes that things will change this year, stating that there is a "very good chance" U.S. lawmakers approve a stablecoin bill. "Stablecoins in particular remain the killer app for blockchain technology," Allaire told CNBC. "It's been a really powerful time for that and we think 2024, with things like the spot ETF and world regulatory clarity, is going to open this up even wider."

Sept 19 (Reuters) - Bitcoin isn't the only asset experiencing a late summer slump. It has shrunk by almost a tenth this year, standing at $124.4 billion as of Sept. 14. A jump in the dollar index on interest rate hikes last year was accompanied by a big rise in stablecoin volumes, he added. Yet all is not equal: Dollar-pegged Tether, the biggest stablecoin, is bucking the losing trend.

March 22 (Reuters) - Stablecoin USDC's issuer Circle said its chief strategy officer's Twitter account was hacked on Wednesday, after the account posted a link appearing to offer holders of the stablecoin USDC a "one-time bonus" of free cryptocurrency. The Twitter account of Dante Disparte, Circle's chief strategy officer, sent a series of tweets appearing to address the stablecoin's recent move away from its dollar peg. One of the tweets - which is no longer visible - said that Circle "will be distributing a one-time bonus of USDC to all existing holders". "This bonus is our way of thanking you for your continued support and trust in USDC," the tweet said. Circle's official Twitter account said that Disparte's account had been "taken over by a scammer".
But usage is raising questions from regulators who have expressed concern about the disclosures stablecoin issuers provide, as well as the tokens' potential instability during periods of stress. While the crypto industry has criticized the SEC's broad industry crackdown, the move against Binance USD, the third-biggest stablecoin with about $16 billion in circulation, could lend some guidelines for which stablecoin activities may get scrutinized. SEC Chairman Gary Gensler has previously said he believes some stablecoins are in fact securities, which require registration and additional regulatory oversight. The New York Department of Financial Services also ordered Paxos last week to stop minting Binance USD. But the specific features of tokens like Binance USD have some stablecoin issuers keen to highlight their differences.
Jennifer Schulp, a director at the libertarian think tank Cato Institute, said the Republicans' unexpectedly tight margin of control in the House will not prompt them to tone down their rhetoric. 'REGULATORY EXUBERANCE'Patrick McHenry, a North Carolina Republican in line to lead the House Financial Services Committee in the new Congress, said in an emailed statement to Reuters before the election that Biden's administration "is pushing its agenda through financial regulators because they don’t have the votes to pass it in Congress." "Committee Republicans will work together to conduct appropriate oversight of activist regulators and market participants who have an outsized impact," McHenry said. "The appropriations process in the House will be a messaging exercise, and it's less worrisome since the Democrats will have the Senate," McGannon said. While those Senators will not be in the majority, House Republicans have also criticized companies on ESG-related matters.
