Michael Barr, a member of the Federal Reserve, stated that the development of stablecoins must be built on strict regulation and warned that without effective constraints, it could repeat the "long history of problems caused by private currencies."

In his speech, Barr pointed out that although the GENIUS Stablecoin Act has provided an initial regulatory framework for the industry, the key lies in subsequent enforcement, including ongoing monitoring of reserve assets and mechanisms to prevent illegal uses. He emphasized that stablecoins can only be truly considered "stable" if they can be redeemed at face value under various market conditions. The liquidity and safety of reserve assets are particularly critical during market pressures or when the issuer's own risks increase.

Additionally, Barr noted that stablecoin issuers have the incentive to increase yields for profit, which may lead them to take on higher risks in reserve asset management, thus posing a potential threat to financial stability. Currently, the regulatory issues surrounding stablecoins remain one of the significant points of divergence in U.S. cryptocurrency legislation and have, to some extent, affected the progress of related bills.
