Accelerate USA 2026: Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand and Sen. Ruben Gallego
summary
A billed regulatory framework centers on a discrete stablecoin rule that requires stablecoins must hold dollars in FDIC‑insured accounts and a broader Clarity Act that clarity act splits SEC and CFTC roles to treat network tokens and securities differently while preserving disclosure and exemptive authority. Proposals protect noncustodial developers from custodial liability, enable cross‑border remittances on chains like Solana, note over 15,000 cryptocurrencies in circulation, and add an ethics ban on officials promoting digital assets to boost bipartisan support.
