The Financial Stability Board (FSB), a global financial watchdog, has named two risks for G20 policymakers: stablecoins that move across borders, and cybersecurity threats tied to artificial intelligence. Cointelegraph reported it on Oct 12, 2026.
On stablecoins, the FSB's focus is on regulation, and in particular on the risks that come up when these tokens are used between countries. On AI, its focus is on cybersecurity threats and what they could mean for financial stability.
The watchdog is asking G20 policymakers to back stronger safeguards. The report does not say what those safeguards would be, when they could arrive, or which stablecoins or companies they would cover.
So far this is a warning and a request. It is not a new rule. No law, deadline or enforcement step is described, and nothing says how G20 policymakers will respond.
For anyone already holding a perpetual position on Bitget, Bybit, MEXC or OKX, the direct effect is nothing. Nothing in this report changes funding rates, trading fees or order-book liquidity on those exchanges today. That can only change if G20 policymakers turn the FSB's request into specific rules, and none have been announced.
