John Kiff on 09 Apr 24The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) published a paper that assesses the evolving regulatory landscape for issuers of single fiat-pegged stablecoins. It compares regulatory frameworks issued by 11 authorities in seven jurisdictions to identify emerging trends and commonalities in their respective frameworks. It finds that many regulatory approaches have similar key requirements, but there are relevant differences in regulatory regimes. For example, in-scope stablecoin definitions vary significantly across regulations, and there are notable differences in the specifics of the regulatory treatment of reserves, and in relation to segregation and custody.
