US Crypto Regulations Prioritize Clarity on Stablecoins and Banking Relationships Over Tax Reform

Cryptocurrency regulations in the United States require more clarity on stablecoins and banking relationships before tax reform becomes a top priority for lawmakers, as stated by industry leaders and legal experts. According to Mattan Erder, general counsel at Orbs, upgrading US crypto regulation should focus on a tailored regulatory approach for areas such as securities laws and banking obstacles. While the Trump administration has shown support for crypto, including through executive orders, Erder emphasized the need for Congress to enact changes in laws. Despite recent pro-crypto moves, concerns about debanking persist in the industry, with potential hurdles remaining until at least January 2026. Additionally, the introduction of stablecoin legislation could pave the way for traditional financial institutions to embrace blockchain-based payments, potentially unlocking new growth opportunities in the industry.
