Mastercard calls for digital asset regulatory clarity

07/06 09:07

According to LedgerInsights, the U.S. Department of Commerce called for input on digital asset regulation, following President Biden’s Executive Order on digital assets. By Friday, just eight responses were received. Two banking bodies – the American Bankers Association and the Independent Community Bankers of America – called for stablecoin regulation and neither is keen on central bank digital currency (CBDC). Mastercard provided the only substantial response of 16 pages. The closing date for the consultation is today. Mastercard believes that the United States has all the attributes to lead the global digital assets sector, except for the lack of regulatory clarity. Its response is very balanced, avoiding laying the blame at regulators’ feet by acknowledging some innovators’ ‘wild west disposition’. It notes the issue is not limited to the United States. Mastercard went into the most detail regarding what might be included in U.S. trade agreements to enable digital assets. While the suggestions are helpful, one suspects much of it reflects obstructions that Mastercard is experiencing beyond digital assets.
