In the US, rumors of a bipartisan stablecoin bill this year are gaining traction [Sarson Funds Primer on Stablecoins]. If a Waters/McHenry bill somehow gets introduced, it would stand a decent shot of passage or inclusion into a must-pass vehicle this year.

We have noted an increase in cynicism (on twitter at least) of Democratic efforts to utilize these events for fundraising purposes. GOP’s prospects for the fall remain “strong” to “quite strong“.

Un-hosted rule kicked back in the US

BSA CTR threshold rule-making ($250 from 3000 for FinCEN regulated entities in Trump era version) is set for a December NPRM, with a two-month comment period. Check out the full agenda here.
