Florida Passes First State-Level Stablecoin Bill — Crypto CLARITY Act Next?
In a significant move for the crypto industry, the Florida State Senate has passed Senate Bill 314 (SB314), establishing the first state-level regulatory framework for stablecoins in the U.S. The bill, which has also passed the House and is expected to be signed by Governor Ron DeSantis, aims to regulate payment stablecoin issuers by aligning with federal guidelines, including consumer protections and financial stability rules. It revises existing money laundering controls to include stablecoins, requires issuers to be licensed, and clarifies that certain stablecoins are not securities. This development occurs as broader federal crypto legislation continues to face challenges.
