In this article, I break down the act and more broadly why stablecoins matter for faster payments. Maria Arminio Bo Berg Kevin Barr

As we seek to supercharge instant payments adoption in the U.S., standards will play a key role in supporting certainty, reliability, and confidence in RTP® and FedNow®. At the U.S. Faster Payments Council, we see three ways standards can be deployed in the next year to help amplify adoption of faster payments, including through our newly announced partnership with ASC X9, Inc. Get my thoughts on this critical juncture for standardization in my latest article. And, if you're an ecosystem participant who has been outside of the standards-making process in the past, now is the time to get involved. FPC will be hosting elections for the FPC/X9 Join Steering Committee in the first quarter of 2026! #paymentstandards #X9 #instantpayments #FedNow #RTP
