Regulatory & Compliance FINMA specifies practice on stablecoins

Stablecoin issuance projects have become increasingly important since 2019. In the new FINMA Guidance 06/2024, the supervisory authority provides information on the financial market law aspects of stablecoin projects and their impact on supervised institutions. In particular, FINMA defines certain minimum requirements for default guarantees from banks, which are often used by stablecoin issuers so that they are not subject to authorisation under banking law. FINMA also draws attention to the increased risks of money laundering and terrorist financing as well as the circumvention of sanctions and specifies the due diligence obligations of stablecoin issuers under anti-money laundering law.

These developments also require Swiss financial service providers who wish to use AI systems to familiarise themselves with the planned regulation.

All money laundering risks to which a financial intermediary is exposed must be identified, recorded, analysed and measured. This also includes setting a risk tolerance with threshold values. Thus, a complete money laundering risk management was expected, which FINMA finally published in its Guidance 05/2023 of 24 August 2023.
