Stani Kulechov, founder of Aave, has criticized the United Kingdom’s Financial Promotions regulations as a hindrance to stablecoin development in the country. According to Foresight News, Kulechov believes these regulations are unnecessarily stringent and impede the smooth operation of stablecoins within the UK market. The existing framework, originally intended to mitigate misleading crypto advertisements, is being applied broadly to all crypto assets, resulting in lengthy questionnaires for users and mandatory cooling-off periods for deposits. This approach treats stablecoins like highly volatile tokens, leading to a cumbersome user experience and increased operational costs for UK-based teams developing stablecoin or embedded DeFi products. Kulechov argues that this regulatory system drives users to explore alternative platforms outside the UK and discourages companies from establishing operations there. He suggests either reforming or replacing the current regulatory approach and calls for a more flexible framework that fosters innovation and allows for efficient development of stablecoin technology.
