Whether in the United States, Europe or Asia, many countries are working hard to build appropriate stablecoin legal and regulatory frameworks, but there are still many problems to be solved. In this process, two core issues are particularly critical: First, is stablecoin a currency or a financial asset? Because the corresponding legal and regulatory requirements for the two are completely different; second, if stablecoins are identified as currency, which level of currency does it belong to? Is it broad money M2, or cash M0? Different currency categories require different regulatory systems, including the construction of anti-money laundering mechanisms.
