The SEC, requested detailed information about PayPal’s new payment tool, while company officials clearly stated that they were open to collaboration with the regulatory body.
Some members, like the senior Democratic Representative of the House Financial Services Committee, Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), said that a Stablecoin design will allow big tech to take over this sector of the crypto industry. The emergence of PayPal provided a vivid example of this possibility.
