SEC Just Changed Stablecoin Rules For Wall Street!



Big news dropped Feb 19, 2026 👇

What Changed?
Broker-dealers now only need 2% capital haircut on stablecoins (down from 100%).
Previously: Hold $1M stablecoins = lock up $2M capital
Now: Hold $1M stablecoins = lock up only $20K

Why It Matters:
→ Stablecoins now treated like money market funds
→ On-chain settlement finally viable for institutions
$USDC positioned for major Wall Street adoption

SEC Chair Paul Atkins called it "a terrific step to unlock access to on-chain markets."

This removes a huge barrier for TradFi entering crypto. Bullish for stablecoin adoption in 2026! 🚀
