Stablecoin Bill's Failure Reflects Deepening Political Divide in Crypto The passing of a much-discussed stablecoin bill last week in the House Financial Services Committee revealed just how deep the political divide in Washington has become, a recent Fortune Crypto newsletter said.
The bill, which was close to getting bipartisan support after negotiations between Republicans and Democrats earlier this year, was eventually passed in the committee with the votes of Republican representatives plus five Democrats.
Reporting on the passing of the bill, Fortune Crypto’s Leo Schwatz wrote in his latest newsletter that the bill, despite being passed by the Committee, is still seen as “a failure” due to the breakdown in cooperation between Republicans and Democrats.
“It’s hard to see the stablecoin bill as anything but a failure,” Schwatz wrote, while pointing out that the Democratic representative Maxine Waters and Republican representative Patrick McHenry were close to reaching a deal on the bill last year.
