These rules aim to address concerns about the impact of stablecoins on financial institutions and the broader market.<\/p>\n

FINMA\u2019s guidelines propose<\/a> <\/strong>treating stablecoin issuers as financial intermediaries, highlighting the increased risk of money laundering, terrorism financing, and sanctions evasion linked to these digital currencies. The new regulations would require stablecoin issuers to follow the same Anti-Money Laundering (AML) rules as traditional financial entities, including verifying the identities of holders and beneficial owners.<\/p>\n

To operate without a banking license, stablecoin issuers must meet specific conditions to protect depositors. These include having a bank guarantee in case of default, informing customers about guarantees, and allowing immediate claims in case of insolvency.<\/p>\n
