Series 11, Episode 5: Stablecoins: fragmented regulatory approach and financial crime
In this episode of Compliance Clarified Helen Chan, regulatory intelligence expert in Hong Kong speaks to Rachel Wolcott, a senior editor in the UK about the current state of stablecoin regulation and financial crime trends in stablecoins and crypto. They unpick attempts at putting a dollar value on illicit crypto flows, and try to pin down the global approach to stablecoin regulation.
Helen and Rachel discuss stablecoins use in superapps like South East Asia’s Grab and the use of tether in Telegram. Will these use cases run into the same financial crime issues as traditional finance has with open banking? They also highlight the risks and concerns stablecoins paired with weak know-your-customer and financial crime systems and controls pose to tradfi.
