They are needed to bring into force the Stablecoin Act, which received royal assent in March 2026, under which non-financial-institution issuers must register with the Bank of Canada, hold a 1:1 reserve in the reference currency and redeem at par. The draft limits reserves to high-quality liquid assets (demand deposits, government debt of three months or less, one-day reverse repos and qualifying money market funds), requires redemption within three business days, caps redemption fees at 1%, bans interest or yield tied to holding a stablecoin, and requires reserves to be held at a Canadian-incorporated qualified custodian. Related amendments bring stablecoin payment service providers under the Retail Payment Activities Act. Comments are open for 60 days.

He said that if the regulation is approved this year, the digital euro could be rolled out as early as 2029, and that banks and other authorised intermediaries will distribute it, manage customer relationships and develop new services, with a holding limit but no limit on payments.

Its consultation paper says reserves would initially have to be 100% bank deposits spread across several banks, holders must be able to redeem into baht at 1:1 within 1 business day, and issuers may not pay interest, returns or incentives based on holding period or value. The number of issuers would be limited at first, while wallet providers could apply in licensing rounds with no cap; the Bank of Thailand will propose that the Ministry of Finance designate both activities as licensed payment services under the Payment Systems Act.

The Riksbank has not taken a position on issuance, estimates implementation would take at least five years plus the time needed for legislative amendments, and says it is justified to begin preparing the legal framework now via a public inquiry; it adds that it would be advantageous to use the ECB's digital euro infrastructure.
