Global stablecoin rulemaking slows, prompting BIS to urge cooperation to avoid fragmentation risks

What Happened
Global stablecoin regulation progress has stalled, prompting Bank for International Settlements to warn of market fragmentation risks. Without international coordination, companies may exploit lighter oversight jurisdictions through regulatory arbitrage. Major economies pursue differing frameworks independently, potentially destabilizing the $320 billion stablecoin sector dominated by USDT and USDC.
