Introduction

Regulatory Summary

Multiple jurisdictions have written or are writing  regulations and laws for stablecoins. The primary  topics are: 

  • The types of licensed institutions that can issue  them. 

  • The type and control of the reserves that can back  them. 

  • Customer protections under KYC or guarantees.

  • Control and audit requirements. 

  • Handling of interest on stablecoin reserves. • Future regulatory considerations. 

    Note: there are very few if any regulations related to  the underlying DLT that records and ‘accounts’ for  the stablecoin transactions. 

BIS Criticism of Stablecoins 

The BIS criticized stablecoins as a form of  money on three characteristics 

  • Singleness of Money: This refers to the  principle that all forms of money in an  economy should be interchangeable at par  value 

    • Stablecoin values can be volatile 

  • Elasticity of Money: Elasticity in this context  means the ability of the money supply to  expand or contract in response to economic  needs. 

    • Stablecoins are independent of central banks 

  • Integrity of Money: Integrity refers to the  soundness, transparency, and trustworthiness  of the monetary system. 

    • Public blockchains are susceptible to corruption  and fraud

Conclusions and Next Steps

  • Stablecoins have a valid and commercially successful utility.

  • However, they are functionally limited in supporting institutional or financing transactions.

  • L4S Corp.’s TapestryX as a Network Accounting Ledger Technology (NAL) offers the means to:

  • Facilitate a full functionality stablecoin payment and financing network

  • That can be easily integrated with other digital assets and transactions.

  • TapestryX’s capabilities will allow the prospective stablecoin new entrants to support and advance current stablecoin utility.
