ECB appoints 30 members for digital euro advisory group, Tether to be regulated by SEC and delayed ETF
European Central Bank appoints 30 members to digital euro advisory group
The European Central Bank (ECB) has appointed 30 members to its new “Digital Euro Market Advisory Group.”
The members will advise the Eurosystem on designing and distributing a potential digital euro, a central bank digital currency (CBDC). The Eurosystem is the monetary authority of the euro area and comprises the ECB and the national central banks of the member states that use the euro.
The ECB launched the digital euro project in July in an investigation phase. At the time, it said a market advisory group will consider prospective users’ and distributors’ views on a digital euro.

SEC to regulate Stablecoins as U.S. weighs new rules
The Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) will become the US regulator of the stablecoin market, according to Bloomberg.
The stablecoin market is estimated to be $131 billion, mostly consisting of Tether USDT-tokens. Traders appreciate the speed and easiness of stablecoins for stepping in and out of the market in times of volatility.
There has been some haggling in America for a while as to which government agency will now be responsible for this type of cryptocurrency. Bloomberg says the Treasury Department will announce the SEC’s oversight this week.
