Yellen Reiterates Call for Regulation of Stablecoins After TerraUSD Drops

A decline in the price of a major cryptocurrency that was purportedly pegged to the dollar prompted Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen to reiterate calls for Congress to authorize regulation of so-called stablecoins. TerraUSD, the fourth-largest stablecoin and 10th-largest cryptocurrency by market value according to CoinMarketCap, saw its price fall as low as 69 cents Monday after a series of large withdrawals over the weekend.
