BACKGROUND INFORMATION

This session will zoom in on stablecoins as possibly the most promising mainstream implementation of digital asset technology, covering the regulatory considerations and questions which are currently relevant in this space, and providing a practice insight into the various ways that stablecoins could impact the global and European economy.

SPECIFIC TOPICS TO BE COVERED DURING THE SESSION

This session will focus on the key differences between stablecoins and “traditional” electronic moneys and crypto-assets, the manner in which stablecoins are regulated for the specific purposes of European law, from both an electronic money (EMI) and crypto-asset (MiCA) perspective, and the status of global regulatory and technological development around stablecoin technology. The session will provide an outline of the various available typologies of stablecoin under European law, stabilization mechanisms and other regulatory safeguards imposed on stablecoin issuers, the regulatory overlay whereby stablecoin assets must comply with elements of both electronic money and crypto-asset specific regulation, before concluding with a medium and long-term perspective on the status of stablecoins within the broader payments landscape.

Why is the session of relevance to our members?

This session will be of interest to any professional keen to remain up-to-date on the latest reg-tech developments, as well as strategic and forward-minded persons at both innovative and traditional financial services institutions who may be giving consideration to their strategic positioning against a rapidly changing landscape in the payments sector.

    Target Audience

    Accountants, auditors, lawyers, management and C-level officials at both innovative and traditional operators in the financial services and remote gaming industries.
