A new report by the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) identified three regulatory gaps in the current oversight of cryptocurrency, stablecoins, and other digital assets and recommended steps Congress and federal regulators should take to close them.

The FSOC report concluded crypto-asset activities “could pose risks to the stability of the U.S. financial system” if they are not “paired with appropriate regulation.”
