The Stablecoin Standards Authority (SSA) is an independent standards platform within the Federal Money Services Business Association (FedMSB) dedicated to strengthening the reliability, governance, and transparency of U.S. dollar–denominated stablecoins. The SSA will be overseen by a Steering Board composed of technology specialists, compliance executives, risk professionals, and MSB industry leaders drawn from FedMSB’s membership.

SSA’s mission is to develop evidence-based technical, compliance, governance, and transparency standards for U.S. dollar stablecoins; promote interoperability, sound risk management, and market integrity in the evolving digital-dollar ecosystem; and serve as a neutral forum for collaboration on best practices, education, and voluntary certification. SSA is not a regulatory agency and does not exercise supervisory or enforcement powers; it complements formal licensing and public-sector frameworks by providing implementation-level guidance for market participants.
