Holding stablecoin, do you have a contractual right to get your dollars back from the issuer — not from the market or another buyer, asks Treasury and FASB
- US Treasury and FASB are posing critical questions to the stablecoin industry regarding the contractual right of redemption for issued dollars.
- The Treasury's proposed rule under the GENIUS Act focuses on licensing permitted issuers and regulating distributors, while FASB's draft aims to clarify stablecoin classification as 'cash equivalents' based on redemption rights and reserve backing.
- Both agencies are pushing for greater clarity and assurance that stablecoins are truly redeemable for dollars, signaling an end to treating any dollar-pegged token as equivalent to cash without strict verification.
