Stablecoins are fixed in a variety of ways around the world, raising concerns about their flexibility and possibly putting barriers for newcomers.
The European framework, markets in crypto (MICA) assets, vary greatly from the US Genius Act. Both are different from Hong Kong’s own stablecoin rules, which has beenfinalized two weeks ago.
These three regulations that frameworks have provided clear standards for stablecoins. The reserve requirements, the licensing of the giver and permit schemes now have cut-and-dry conditions, which will undoubtedly make it easier for stablecoins to develop.
But their differences are unique enough to cause concern. According to Krishna Subramanan, Banking Liaison Firm Bruc Bond, Stablecoins is currently “running the risk of jurisdiction, limited to availability and confidence outside of specific regions.”
“Competing models” Stablecoin Law may affect flexibility
The ordinance of MICA, Genius and Hong Kong’s Stablecoin Ordinance offers all models of differences for regulating stablecoins.
Udaibir Saran Das, a member of the Bretton Woods committee and visits professor at the National Council of Economic Research, explained their difference in Cointelegraph. Important:
These laws mean “those who provide should build similar compliance structures for each constituency. This includes separate legal creatures, auditing and management models, increasing cost and operation of dispute,” Das explained.
“Friction operation is derived from divergent reserve requirements, repairing precautions and the Hong Kong owner knows your customer forcing purse providers to rebuild their infrastructure. These frameworks represent competing financial control models,” he said.
All legal entities and regime reports are costly, and smaller Stablecoin companies will find it difficult to pay compliance costs, especially if they operate in many regions. It can push smaller fish out of markets or force them to be part of an acquisition deal with larger companies.
According to Subramanian, “following this asymmetry” can concentrate market strength and limit change. He said, “Over time, the fragmentation of regulation will not only increase costs but determine who can measure and who does not.”
Das said that without recognizing each other in various Stablecoin laws, the complexity of running assembly of many requirements, which included many licensing processes, in parallel and fragment technology, favored large, capitalized stablecoin that provided.
“The pressure of the integration may be intentional,” he said.
Do global regulators want to align the laws of Stablecoin?
Most rhetoric surrounding crypto regulations, whether for stablecoins, market framework or bitcoin (Btc) Reserves, are about making any constituents or country that are most compelling possible.

As a crypto industry in various jockey countries for primacy, Subramanan said, “In the near term, competitive breakup -scratches are likely to continue.
He said that Hong Kong, the UAE and Singapore all had comparisons of frameworks for stablecoins that stimulate adoption, while on the ground, they have licensing requirements unique to their constituents, “offer the necessary initial protection to their nationalities.”
This can change as StableCoin adoption grows, as well -known executive executives such as Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse is predicted. Subramanian said that while Stablecoins are increasingly intertwined with payments, credit markets and capital flow, “the risk will bring convergence.”
“The question is not if coordination is a desired political; it is if financial stability can be maintained without it.”
He continued, “the pressure of alignment will increase as cross-border volumes increase and the regulations that gaps are beginning to produce real economic exterior.”
Coordinating these issues is tough, but possible. Subramanian said the alignment of Stablecoin laws in many countries “require operational frameworks for collaboration.”
The major banks and financial institutions such as the Financial Stability Board, the Bank of International Settlement and the G20 “are well positioned to define baseline standards for reserves, disclosure and risk reduction.”
Das said the construction of administration colleges for cross-border stablecoins with shared anti-money laundering protocols is “complicated but necessary.”
“Without coordination, regulation arbitration becomes the dominant business model,” he said.
Which regulation will win?
If regulation is both necessary and possible, it still leaves the question of which regulation regulation will serve as an example for further regulation and cooperation.
Das said genius does not exceed existing laws but “will shape global standard by weight in the market.” The model of administration of the law, in which the Comptroller controls non-bank stablecoins that provide, and existing regulators covering banks that release stablecoins, is a template that other countries can repeat.
Subramanan added that “genius is likely to influence regulation thinking through its structured approach to reserves, redemption rights and responsibilities. In doing so, it will help to develop global expectations and informs cross-border compatibility decisions.”
Banks and payment systems also want to choose the highest criteria for cross-border operations, which means that the “Hong Kong conservative approach can set global customs despite the release of a limited number of licenses,” Das said.
It is possible that major financial centers will reach a consensus on stablecoin regulations, but this is unlikely to happen in the short term. Meanwhile, smaller players are likely to be pushed as stablecoin issues combined in the face of new regulations.
