Everything You Need To Know About Stablecoin Regulation


Listen Later

Stablecoin regulations have been slowly popping up around the world and in this episode, Ian Andrews (CMO, Chainalysis) speaks to the newly appointed Vice President and Deputy General Counsel, Global Policy at Circle, Corey Then and our very own policy expert, Caroline Malcolm to discuss stablecoin regulation, USDC’s integration into international markets and the threat of de-dollarization.


Corey explains how USDC works  and its role in the digital asset ecosystem, as well as Circle's business model and how it differs from other stablecoin issuers.

Corey and Caroline simplify the global regulatory landscape for stablecoins and discuss the importance of regulatory harmonization and the need for the US to enact payment stablecoin legislation, while maintaining high standards for AML/CFT requirements.

They also touch on the competition between stablecoins and Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), as well as the potential for stablecoins to facilitate dollarization in economies facing high inflation or restrictive capital controls.
