The U.S. Congress is reviewing a proposal that would allow banks to hold cryptocurrencies and issue stablecoins. According to Techub, citing Crypto Briefing, the measure is designed to give traditional financial institutions a clearer legal framework for participating in digital assets.
If approved, banks would be able to directly custody clients’ crypto assets and issue stablecoins pegged to fiat currencies such as the U.S. dollar. The proposal is framed as a step that could speed up institutional adoption of crypto by reducing legal uncertainty around how banks engage with the sector.
Techub said the measure could also affect the stability of the digital asset market and the valuation of assets including Bitcoin. The proposal is still under consideration in Congress.
