FSB calls for ‘proportionate’ regulation of global stablecoins

The board will deliver its paper to G20 finance ministers and central bank governors during a virtual meeting on 15 April

The Financial Stability Board, the G20 supervisory body, has made ten recommendations for regulating so-called “global stablecoins”, a type of cryptocurrency.
