Banking Authority (EBA) has advised stablecoins issuers to get ready to adhere
to the new European Union crypto regulations that will come into effect in June,
2024.
In addition
to proper arrangements for handling redemptions, it is expected that stablecoins
issuers, which are tokens pegged to an asset like the US dollar, to have sound
governance and effective risk management.
It is also
expected that each stablecoin operator gets a license from a national financial
regulator before the deadline to comply with the regulations.
The EBA commenced
the first in a series of consultations on its proposed guidelines, which cover
areas such as investing in stablecoin issuers.
Stablecoins
are digital tokens that rely on reserves of assets to maintain a one-to-one
redemption value with a less volatile asset like the dollar.
