Senator Elizabeth Warren was recently speaking at the Senate Banking Committee on the matter of stablecoins. The Senator representing the state of Massachusetts recently issued some fairly abrasive remarks about the stablecoins. Warren has been known for her critical opinions about the DeFi markets. She has been vocal about how the stablecoin run can hurt the common investor.
The Senate hearing was held recently, and Warren had a discussion with Professor Hilary Allen from the Washington Law College and University. Warren asked Allen if stablecoins could hurt the traditional financial system of the country. Allen responded by claiming that it is possible that if a good number of people started to lose their faith in cryptocurrencies, it could have a devastating impact on the economy.
