U.S. warns stablecoins issuers to guard against money laundering and risk controls

Top U.S. financial regulators are warning stablecoin issuers to tighten the screws on money laundering. Stablecoins are an important part of the evolving cryptocurrency ecosystem due to their immunity to volatility, which has made the industry more appealing to speculators and retail investors who are in it for quick gains.

The Treasury Departement, in conjunction with various agencies, released a statement saying the stablecoins should be used in a way that “effectively manages risk and maintains the stability of the U.S. domestic and international financial and monetary systems.”

The President’s Working Group on Financial Markets, an association whose members are the chiefs of the Treasury, the Federal Reserve, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), wants the companies behind stablecoins to have enough cash reserves.

Stablecoins are normally pegged to major fiat currencies such as the USD. They are used by traders to buy other cryptocurrencies due to low volatility. Some workers also prefer to be paid in stablecoins because they are stable.

The U.S. closely watching the crypto sector

The Trump administration has kept a keen eye on the cryptocurrency industry, especially in the last few weeks, though its term ends in less than a month.

The document is the latest attempt by officials appointed by President Trump to apply new rules to the crypto industry. 

America’s hostility has frustrated many in the industries and first-time players. Facebook, the largest social network in the world, hit a brick wall after facing a backlash from Washington lawmakers when it announced its plans to issue a stablecoin - called Libra - tied to a basket of several major currencies.

After failing to get regulators on its side, Libra stablecoin rebranded to Diem as it distanced itself away from Facebook in the hope of getting regulatory approval. Despite scaling down and limiting its ambitions from the original roadmap, Diem, which if all goes well will launch in 2021, was met with the same hostility.

The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) faced a backlash from the crypto community after proposing new rules that require financial institutions to verify the identities of people who send cryptocurrencies worth $3,000 or more to their self-hosted wallets.

The SEC charged Ripple and its two principals with raising more than $1.3 billion in an ongoing unregistered token sale.

Tether is the dominant stablecoin, and now the third-largest digital asset by market capitalization after overtaking XRP which tumbled more than 60% following the SEC lawsuit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

Why is there no trial or refund policy?

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

How often is content updated?

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

How does the Value Guarantee work?

We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
