Florida Stablecoin Regulation Approved
The Florida legislature approved Senate Bill 314, which regulates state-level payment stablecoins, and sent it to Governor Ron DeSantis for signature. Samuel Armes, founder of the Florida Blockchain Business Association, announced on X that the law will pass unanimously from the Senate and the House and become law within 30 days. The law amends the money laundering law to include stablecoins, prohibiting unlicensed issuance and exempting certain payment stablecoins from securities status. Issuers operating from outside will be required to notify the Florida Office of Financial Regulation (OFR), and audits will be conducted jointly with OFR or the Comptroller’s Office. Consumer protection standards have been aligned with the federal GENIUS Act, and interest or yield payments may be prohibited depending on federal rules.
