Arkansas Chairman French Hill stated last week that a well-regulated stablecoin market would "strengthen the dollar's dominance, modernize our payment infrastructure, and promote financial services accessibility without excessive government intervention."

Critics also worry that if stablecoins fail, there will be a lack of insurance backing like that from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC); bankers warn that stablecoins could siphon off deposits and reduce credit channels.
