Stablecoin Default Guarantees Pose Risks to the Issuing Banks, Swiss Regulator Says

FINMA’s guidance, which builds on an initial note from 2019, sets out a number of requirements to ensure adequate protection.

In addition, the bank must ensure that the deposits it receives don’t surpass the cover provided by the guarantee.
