Florida Senate Approves First Comprehensive State Stablecoin Regulatory Framework

On 7 March 2026, the Florida Senate unanimously passed a bill creating what state lawmakers describe as the first comprehensive state-level regulatory framework for stablecoin issuers in the United States. The measure, approved by a 37–0 vote, now awaits a decision from Governor Ron DeSantis, who has up to 30 days to sign or veto it, potentially positioning Florida as an early leader in U.S. digital asset regulation.
