‘The Impact of Stablecoins’ is a joint publication between IFI Global and Jersey Finance. It builds on previous reports exploring asset tokenisation, the rise of virtual assets and trends in alternative investing.

Commenting on the report, Elliot Refson, Head of Funds at Jersey Finance, said:

“The past 12 months have been pivotal in the journey of stablecoins, as they have seen a rapid acceleration in issuance and volume. Now occupying a critical position within a new financial architecture, stablecoins are likely to transform how asset managers operate in the year ahead – in fact, with stablecoins on course to become a universal medium of value in the digital economy, asset managers will not be able to ignore them.

“However – and despite major legislative initiatives in key markets, not least the GENIUS Act in the US – challenges at both a regulatory and an operational level remain. Building on our previous analyses with IFI, this report takes a detailed look at the emerging landscape and highlights how IFCs such as Jersey – our jurisdiction’s first stablecoin from Deep Blue was authorised in 2024 – can play a crucial role, both in supporting managers and in providing the right ecosystem as stablecoins move centre stage.”

Simon Osborn, Editor of IFI Global and author of the report, commented:

“Institutional investors are the key force behind stablecoin growth, with their positive impact on private market liquidity widely recognised among managers. Yet, while the potential of stablecoins is clear, so too are the challenges – from upgrading technical infrastructure, to choosing forward-looking jurisdictions with robust and transparent regulatory frameworks. Stablecoins are set, however, to reshape how private fund managers organise their operational activities and, in doing so, may unlock opportunities that today are difficult to imagine.”
