Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey and BIS General Manager Pablo Hernández de Cos yan say work on global stablecoin rules for Financial Stability Board don slow. If dem no align, companies fit move their activities go jurisdictions wey get lighter oversight. Dem officials still yan many stablecoin structures fit behave more like securities than cash, so redemption delays and “redemption frictions” fit make price comot from the $1 peg. Market dey dominated by USDT (Tether) and USDC (Circle). Policymakers dey discuss ways to prevent bank‑run style dynamics, including limiting stablecoin interest payments and looking at backstops like central bank lending access or deposit‑insurance type arrangements. For the US, lawmakers dey push the Digital Asset Market Structure Transparency Act: House don pass am and Senate dey review. Senators Thom Tillis and Angela Alsobrooks agree on stablecoin yield terms, but some issues still dey about DeFi oversight and ethics frameworks.
