  Yes, stablecoins are subject to regulatory oversight. As cryptocurrencies that aim to maintain a stable value by pegging to a fiat currency, stablecoins like Tether and USDC are considered as a form of digital currency. Therefore, they are subject to the same regulations and oversight as traditional fiat currencies. Regulatory authorities such as the SEC and CFTC in the United States have been actively monitoring stablecoins to ensure compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) regulations.

  Absolutely! Stablecoins cannot escape regulatory scrutiny. Given their potential impact on the financial system, regulatory authorities are keeping a close eye on stablecoins. The Financial Stability Board (FSB) has highlighted the need for robust regulation and supervision of stablecoins to address risks related to consumer protection, market integrity, and financial stability. It's crucial for stablecoin issuers to comply with regulatory requirements to maintain trust and ensure the stability of the overall cryptocurrency ecosystem.
