U.S. House Republican leadership has released an amendment to the 'ROAD to Housing Act,' which previously passed the Senate, Punchbowl reporter Brendan Pedersen reported on X. The amendment maintains a provision banning the Federal Reserve (Fed) from issuing a central bank digital currency (CBDC) until the end of 2030, with an exception for open, permissionless, and privacy-preserving dollar-denominated currencies. It also includes a rule of construction clarifying that the Fed cannot issue a CBDC without separate congressional approval. The Senate passed the bill in March with a vote of 89-10. However, its passage has been delayed in the House due to opposition from conservatives over several points, including the 2030 expiration date for the CBDC ban and a requirement for large institutional investors to sell single-family homes they have purchased within seven years.

Sarah Breeden, the Bank of England's Deputy Governor for Financial Stability, told the Financial Times that the central bank's initial regulatory proposals for stablecoins may have been excessively conservative. She stated that the bank is now closely examining other ways to manage the risks associated with stablecoins, signaling a potential easing of the rules in response to industry feedback. The Bank of England had previously proposed limiting individual stablecoin holdings to £20,000 and corporate holdings to £10 million to prevent a run on traditional bank deposits. Breeden explained that the initial draft was written conservatively based on experiences with potential liquidity crises and added that the bank will now review whether its approach was overly cautious.

The adoption of asset tokenization and digital finance by major U.S. banks and financial institutions will start slowly before spreading rapidly, according to global credit rating agency Moody's. In a recent report cited by Cointelegraph, Moody's noted that while tokenization is currently limited to simple asset classes like funds and short-term financial products, institutions anticipate its expansion to more assets and market participants. The report added that most large banks and financial infrastructure firms have already established dedicated digital asset teams and are participating in pilot projects. Moody's outlined three potential paths for the financial system's evolution: gradual growth, low growth, or rapid proliferation. The most likely scenario, the agency said, involves the spread of stablecoins and deposit tokens while existing banks and asset managers maintain their core roles. However, if tokenization spreads rapidly, stablecoins could become the primary on-chain payment infrastructure, putting profitability pressure on some payment companies and banks.

The Bank of Korea (BOK) announced that it will prioritize establishing a payment system centered on a central bank digital currency (CBDC) and deposit tokens to prepare for the expansion of the asset tokenization market, iNews24 reported. In a BOK issue note released today, the central bank stated that asset tokens would be a later consideration. The bank also assessed that stablecoins could be used as a supplementary tool, provided they fully comply with strict regulations and ensure redeemability and the stability of their reserve assets. Furthermore, the BOK warned that while tokenized assets can be traded 24/7 with instant settlement, their underlying real-world assets adhere to traditional financial market hours and settlement cycles. This mismatch, it cautioned, could lead to large-scale redemptions and forced liquidations occurring simultaneously during periods of market instability.

Bipartisan negotiations on the U.S. Senate Banking Committee's CLARITY Act markup have ended without an agreement, Crypto in America host Eleanor Terrett reported on X. She explained that Democrats had conditioned their support on strengthening ethics and conflict-of-interest provisions concerning the presidential family and had also raised last-minute objections to the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA), which expands liability exemptions for non-custodial software developers. While meaningful progress was made on the ethics issues, disagreement over the BRCA prevented a final deal. As a result, the committee vote is expected to proceed with only Republican support. Regarding the negotiations, Senator Cynthia Lummis stated that 99% of the bill had been agreed upon. She expressed hope that the remaining 1% could be resolved after the bill passes the committee, warning that if not, lawmakers would have to take responsibility for any future FTX-like incidents.
