Sen. Lummis: It'll Pay to 'Choose Circle Over Tether' Under U.S. Stablecoin Proposal
Summary
Circle Internet Financial would have an advantage over Tether under new U.S. stablecoin regulations, according to Sen. Lummis. The proposed legislation aims for U.S.-regulated companies, potentially impacting offshore entities like Tether.
