Forecast Trend Report by Period
The Bank of England has raised concerns about risks tied to dollar-based stablecoins, highlighting the need for regulatory coordination with the US.
Reuters reported on May 11 that Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey told a conference that stablecoin-related issues will be an important area for coordination with the US administration.
Bailey said a breakdown in redemptions or a bank run involving dollar-pegged stablecoins could trigger a large flow of funds into the UK.
He also said the GENIUS Act, a US bill on stablecoin regulation, has some loopholes in terms of guaranteeing redemptions.
The US has recently stepped up discussions on creating a regulatory framework for stablecoins.
Markets are watching whether major central banks will coordinate on stablecoin regulation and how that could affect financial stability. The direction of US regulation and whether an international coordination framework emerges will be key variables.
