FSB warns of stablecoin and AI risks ahead of G20 finance meeting
FSB Chair Andrew Bailey urges G20 members to adopt new AI practices and address immature stablecoin oversight.
By Felo News Desk · Published
The Financial Stability Board (FSB) sent a letter to G20 finance ministers on Monday warning that oversight mechanisms for stablecoins remain "immature or are not yet developed," and that artificial‑intelligence risks require close monitoring, Cointelegraph reported.
Chair Andrew Bailey highlighted that, in the FSB’s 2025 review, only 11 of 28 surveyed jurisdictions had finalised stablecoin regulatory frameworks. He urged G20 members to back the board’s newly finalised practices for responsible AI adoption in finance.
The accompanying report said stablecoin runs could spill into traditional markets via forced sales of reserve assets and bank‑deposit withdrawals, and that multi‑issuer stablecoins pose redemption‑concentration risks across jurisdictions. Bailey also warned that AI‑enabled cyber threats could undermine the resilience of critical financial institutions.
