The spectacular demise of the TerraUSD stablecoin along with Luna has opened a window for stablecoin regulation. It appears as though central banks are coming.

A plan released from the Bank of England yesterday said collapsed stablecoin issuers would be put into special administration under BOE control, similar to banks.

A Bloomberg column today urges more regulation.

  • Digital revolution in payments and money could have implications for central banking
  • Role of central banks will remain to supply liquidity and stability but digital currencies could change implementation
  • It's 'critical' the Fed understand how digital technologies influence the financial system and policy implementation
