A week after delivering his farewell address on the floor of the U.S. Senate, outgoing Pennsylvania Sen. Pat Toomey has quietly introduced another piece of cryptocurrency legislation. The Stablecoin TRUST Act—a backronym for Transparency of Reserves and Uniform Safe Transactions—would establish a federal regulatory framework for "payment stablecoins," and is designed to guide Congress towards a path of "sensible regulation of cryptocurrencies." The legislation is very similar to The TRUST Act that Toomey introduced in April, and is both the latest and likely last bill of several relating to digital assets that Sen. Toomey introduced or cosponsored in this last term. (Decrypt)
