The FATF warns of the criminal risks of stablecoins, and executives in the encryption field say: it is not aimed at the encryption industry.
PANews July 1st news, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) recently warned of a rise in crime related to stablecoins, but executives from blockchain intelligence companies stated that this is not a threat to the Crypto Assets industry, but rather emphasizes the need to strengthen regulation and monitoring.
Executives from Chainalysis and Asset Reality believe that this warning is aimed at promoting unified licensing and regulation for stablecoin issuers, enhancing real-time monitoring and international cooperation to track and combat illegal flows of funds, rather than prohibiting the development of stablecoins.
Chainalysis data shows that the 2025 cryptocurrency crime report indicates that 63% of on-chain illegal transaction volume is denominated in stablecoins. Experts point out that the transparency and traceability of stablecoins make them not the best choice for criminals, while centralized stablecoin issuers also have the ability to freeze illegal funds, such as Tether freezing $225 million of US.
