A snapshot of where the major jurisdictions stand on stablecoin regulation as of April 2026 — comprehensive frameworks already in force, legislation in progress, early-stage approaches, and regions still without a framework.
The US, EU, UAE, Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore have comprehensive frameworks in force; most of the world has none yet.
The map reflects publicly disclosed regulation and guidance as of April 2026, in four categories: comprehensive, in progress, early stage, and no framework. It may not capture recent legislative changes, pending regulations or enforcement actions. It is for information and education only, not legal, financial or regulatory advice; verify with official government sources before making compliance or business decisions.
