In a letter to lawmakers, James criticized both the GENIUS Act in the Senate and the STABLE Act in the House for lacking sufficient safeguards.
The GENIUS Act, backed by the White House and expected to reach President Trump’s desk by August, would require stablecoins to be fully backed by cash or highly liquid assets, mandate audits for large issuers, and set rules for foreign stablecoin operators. The STABLE Act, meanwhile, offers a different regulatory path with more flexibility for state-level oversight but has yet to reach a full House vote.
James argued that both bills should go further—especially in treating stablecoin issuers more like traditional banks and requiring insurance protections for consumers. She also called for supervisory authority to be given to the Federal Reserve, citing its independence from political influence.

This marks James’ latest intervention in the stablecoin debate. In April, she warned against embracing foreign-backed tokens like Tether and advocated for keeping stablecoin operations within U.S. jurisdiction to support the dollar and Treasury markets.
“We support innovation,” James wrote, “but not at the expense of the financial system’s safety and the protection of everyday Americans.”
