Nebraska is digging in its heels in regulating digital assets, especially stablecoins. State lawmakers made it clear during a recent hearing: they want to keep stablecoin regulation firmly in state hands.

Rep. Flood, who championed the Nebraska Financial Innovation Act, told the hearing that any federal stablecoin legislation must respect Nebraska’s existing regulatory framework. The goal? To allow the state to continue its leadership while meeting federal guidelines.
