Stablecoin legislation encounters obstacles in the Senate, with Democratic lawmakers pointing out obvious corruption in TRUMP coin activities
ChainCatcher News, Senate Democrats blocked stablecoin legislation supported by the digital asset industry, and Trump's extensive and growing cryptocurrency portfolio has caused a stir.
The bill's supporters failed to reach the required 60 votes in Thursday's vote, with a tally of 49 to 48. There is still a possibility for both sides to reach an agreement in the coming weeks, as many Democrats argue that stablecoin regulation is crucial for protecting consumers and providing guidelines for this emerging industry. Trump has recently been heavily promoting the TRUMP coin named after him, and after the token's organizers launched a marketing campaign stating "the largest holders can dine with the president," token sales surged. Democratic Senator Warren and others have claimed that such measures exhibit clear corruption.
