G20 Links Stablecoin Regulation to Global Payment Modernization

The G20 has connected stablecoin work to a wider effort to modernize global payments. The September 1 Chair's Statement calls for clearer regulatory paths for digital assets and longer operating hours for large-value payment systems.

The statement views stablecoins as part of cross-border finance, with their performance depending on the banking, messaging, and compliance systems surrounding them.

G20 officials have linked stablecoin work to payment-system reform. They support extending operating hours for large-value payment systems to reduce the gap between 24/7 blockchain transactions and banking infrastructure that follows local schedules.
