Democrats block stablecoin bill in blow to crypto

  • On May 8, 2025, a Senate vote in Washington, D.C. Fell short of the required threshold to move forward with a pioneering stablecoin regulatory bill supported by the cryptocurrency industry.
  • Democrats blocked the bill due to insufficient consumer protections and concerns over President Trump's family's crypto business ties involved in stablecoin issuances.
  • The bill had bipartisan support, passing the Senate Banking Committee 18-6 with five Democrats voting yes, but key figures like Sen. Mark Warner and Sen. Ruben Gallego opposed it on the floor.
  • Senate Banking Chair Tim Scott said, "We are simply delayed," pledging to continue efforts for a digital asset framework the American people voted for.
  • The bill's failure delays a national framework, leaving stablecoin regulation fragmented across states and raising issues over consumer safety and crypto industry abuses.
