George Selgin: U.S. bank charter requirement undermines stablecoin issuer goals — Stablecoin issuer regulation debate

George Selgin has voiced concern over the efficacy of requiring stablecoin issuers to obtain standard bank charters in order to qualify for narrow or skinny banking models.

According to Selgin, such regulatory requirements defeat the original purpose of these stablecoins and banking innovations. He notes a disagreement on this issue with a colleague, highlighting ongoing policy debate within the sector.
