The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has flagged peer-to-peer stablecoin transactions via self-custody wallets as a critical vulnerability in global financial oversight. These transactions bypass regulated intermediaries, creating gaps in anti-money laundering (AML) controls.

Stablecoins are increasingly used for trading, daily payments, and cross-border transfers, amplifying regulatory concerns. The FATF urges governments to assess risks and implement countermeasures, including stricter guidelines for wallet-to-platform interactions and stablecoin issuers.

Unhosted wallets enable direct transactions without virtual asset service providers, undermining existing compliance frameworks. This development comes as stablecoins gain traction in both retail and institutional crypto markets.
