BIS says stablecoins closer to securities than money, need regulation

The Bank for International Settlements said stablecoins have a structure closer to exchange-traded funds than to money and called for global regulatory coordination. It warned that divergent national rules could lead to market fragmentation and regulatory arbitrage. BIS officials cited rapid growth in dollar-pegged tokens, redemption frictions and price dislocations, and risks that large-scale redemptions could spread stress to broader markets. Officials also flagged possible policy impacts and debated interest payments.

BoE governor says countries must not set stablecoin rules separately, urges faster global standards

Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey said efforts to establish common international standards for stablecoins are moving too slowly and called for alignment of national regulations. He said users must be able to trust that stablecoins can be redeemed in full at any time, describing this as “assured value”, and said international standards are needed to underpin it. His remarks come as the UK and the United States move to build domestic rules, and as debate continues in South Korea.
