On 4 May 2026, the second session of the SAFE-CEPR EFA RPN Web Seminar Series "Financial Regulation in the Era of Fragmentation, AI, and Geopolitics" took place, focused on stablecoin regulation. The discussion addressed current debates surrounding the role of stablecoins in the international financial system and their implications for financial stability, banking regulation, and monetary sovereignty. Attention was also given to the differing regulatory approaches across jurisdictions and the broader challenges of regulating digital financial innovations in a fragmented global environment.
