Sen. Elizabeth Warren has asked Elon Musk for information about X Money, citing concerns about the possible use of stablecoins.
Cointelegraph reported on April 15 that Warren said integrating cryptocurrencies and stablecoins into X Money could pose risks to the financial system and national security.
She specifically asked whether the company plans to issue its own stablecoin. Warren also requested an explanation of how a proposed deposit product offering about 6% annual interest would be sustained.
She also emphasized that stablecoin deposits, unlike traditional bank deposits, are not protected by depositor safeguards. The question highlights risks to investor protection.
Markets are focused on whether big tech's expansion into financial services and the possible adoption of stablecoins could become a regulatory issue. Musk's response and the broader policy debate will be key factors.
