Michael Barr, seorang profesor hukum dan mantan anggota dewan penasihat Ripple Labs yang merupakan wakil presiden Amerika Serikat Joe Biden untuk pengawasan di Federal Reserve, meminta anggota parlemen AS untuk mengatur stablecoin dalam upaya untuk mengatasi “risiko stabilitas keuangan.”

Menurut Barr, “lembaga lain” dalam pemerintah AS bertanggung jawab untuk menangani perlindungan investor seputar cryptocurrency. Hadir pada sidang yang sama adalah calon komisaris Securities and Exchange Commission — Jaime Lizárraga dan Mark Uyeda — yang, jika dikonfirmasi, akan menjabat sebagai ketua Gary Gensler.
Menanggapi pertanyaan dari Senator Massachusetts Elizabeth Warren di persidangan, Barr menegaskan bahwa dia tidak akan bekerja di "perusahaan jasa keuangan mana pun" yang berpotensi memiliki aset di bawah lingkup Federal Reserve selama empat tahun setelah waktu prospektifnya di lembaga pemerintah. Warren mengutip volatilitas pasar baru-baru ini, termasuk TerraUSD (UST) yang terdepegasi dari dolar dan kemudian menyerang selebritas yang tidak disebutkan namanya untuk mendukung proyek crypto tertentu.
“Investasi apa pun melibatkan risiko – begitulah cara kerja pasar,” kata Warren. “Tapi pasar tanpa aturan adalah pencurian, dan saat ini investor reguler di stablecoin dan crypto tidak mendapatkan perlindungan dasar yang tersedia di pasar keuangan lainnya.”
