Stablecoins: How They Work & the Rules | SQX Alts

Stablecoins are digital tokens pegged to the dollar, backed by reserves — the cash rail of tokenized markets, now under the GENIUS Act's federal framework.

  • Stablecoins are digital tokens pegged to the U.S. dollar, backed by reserves of cash and short-term government securities, serving as the settlement currency for tokenized markets.
  • The GENIUS Act provides a federal regulatory framework for U.S. payment stablecoins, mandating full reserves, disclosure, and redemption rights, while prohibiting issuer-paid yield to holders.
  • Stablecoins are considered essential infrastructure for the RWA market, functioning as payment instruments rather than investments, with risks primarily related to the issuer and reserve quality.
