In her column for January 2021 (click here), Lucy discusses the UK
government's January 2021 consultation on its regulatory
approach to cryptoassets and stablecoins and, in this context,
considers why the very stability of stablecoins means they are
getting more attention from global policymakers than other
cryptoassets. Lucy also comments on related regulatory issues
addressed in the call for evidence that forms part of the
consultation, including the challenges posed by decentralised
finance (DeFi), cross-border operations and financial crime.
