Congress is preparing to pass industry-friendly stablecoin regulation with broad bipartisan support right now. The legislation requires dollar-backed stablecoins to hold reserves in short-term government debt or similar products that are overseen by regulators. This crypto market structure reform could impact how XRP ETF products are regulated once they get approved.
