The European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB) is urging for a crackdown on foreign stablecoins due to concerns over a potential "redemption run".
The ESRB notes that the EU is facing a "high degree of legal uncertainty" in regulating stablecoins issued by both EU and non-EU entities.
The existing Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation does not cover stablecoins with both EU and non-EU issuers.
This gap in regulation increases the likelihood of "redemption runs", according to the ESRB.
