However, the collapse of <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/companies\/terraform-labs\/\">Terraform Labs'<\/a> algorithmic stablecoin TerraUSD in May 2022 has likely played a role in the lawmakers' decision to include the prohibition in the legislation.<\/p>\n<p>The collapse \u2014 which wiped $80 billion in value from the crypto market in May 2022 \u2014 has raised concerns about algorithmic approaches to valuation \u2014 even as other competing algorithmic stablecoins such as Ampleforth (<a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/usdd\/\">USDD<\/a>), Frax (<a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/frax\/\">FRAX<\/a>), and Ampleforth (AMPL) continue to circulate close to the value of the US dollar.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, the bill only permits depository institutions and non-depository trust institutions to issue stablecoins and does not set out a clear path to compliance for existing stablecoin firms.<\/p>\n<p>The bill <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/us-senators-propose-bipartisan-bill-to-preserve-us-dollar-dominance-by-regulating-stablecoins\/\">also aims<\/a> to prevent the illegal use of stablecoins and creates separate federal and state regulatory regimes, among other specific requirements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent legislative bill introduced by US Senators Cynthia Lummis and Kirsten Gillibrand has drawn the crypto industry&#8217;s ire due to a proposed ban on algorithmic stablecoins.
