Mauritius has introduced new stablecoin regulations requiring issuers to hold higher capital, maintain full reserves, provide regular disclosure, and prohibits algorithmic or yield-bearing stablecoins to strengthen financial stability and comply with FATF guidelines.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Mauritius has raised the bar for stablecoin issuers with capital and reserve rules that make local operations tougher and more transparent. You need to review your issuer or exchange compliance now or risk losing market access in Mauritius.
