【ワシントン時事】米通貨監督庁(OCC)は21日、ドルなど法定通貨と価値が連動するよう設計された暗号資産(仮想通貨)「ステーブルコイン」の規制ルールを定めた法律について、最終規則を公表した。ステーブルコイン発行体から交換業者など第三者を経由した保有者への利息払いを禁じるルールは当初案と比べて事実上後退。預金流出を懸念する金融業界は反発を強めそうだ。
法律の名称は「ジーニアス法」。暗号資産業界の成長促進を目指すトランプ政権肝煎りの同法は、来年1月18日に施行される予定だ。
同法では発行体が利用者に利息や報酬を直接支払う行為を禁じているが、交換業者など第三者を通じた付与は制限されていない。
高利回りを提示する交換業者が存在する中、巨額の預金流出を恐れる金融業界は法の抜け穴防止を当局に要請。OCCは今年2月に提示した規則案に、ルール違反に該当する取引形態の想定などを盛り込んだ。
ただ、利息禁止を巡り多くの関係者は「解釈を狭めるべきだ」と異論を唱えた。当局者は「重大な(規制の)回避行為が確認されれば(法的に)追及する」としている。
