G7 and G20 Leaders not Happy about Stablecoins

in #money • 5 years ago

There is a draft of G20 meeting where they speak of some world financial issues, they mention Libra there but from it go over all stable coins saying they pose a risk to the global financial system.

The G7 believe that no stablecoin project should begin operation until the legal, regulatory and oversight challenges and risks are adequately addressed

Stablecoin projects of potentially global reach and magnitude must meet the highest regulatory
standards and be subject to prudential supervision and oversight. Possible regulatory gaps should
be assessed and addressed as a matter of priority. It is against this backdrop that the G20 Leaders
asked the FSB to advise them on any additional multilateral responses as needed, given recent
developments.

Just some chosen by me texts, but here is whole if you want to read - https://www.fsb.org/wp-content/uploads/P131019.pdf

Its interesting as stable coins are now almost everywhere to avoid dealing with FIAT and banks yet they are counted as ie USD or EUR in volumes.

Lets see just USDT volume.

    You may be interested in reading what the IMFBlog had to say about stablecoins.

    Here is the conclusion to the authors' two-parts series:

    Next step: a central bank digital currency?

    If stablecoin providers held client assets at the central bank, clients would indirectly be able to hold, and transact in, central bank liabilities—the essence, after all, of a “central bank digital currency.” In practice, the coins would remain the liability of private issuers, and client assets would have to be protected against the bankruptcy of the stablecoin provider.

    This synthetic central bank digital currency—or “sCBDC” for short—offers significant advantages over its full-fledged cousin, which requires getting involved in many of the steps of the payments chain. This can be costly—and risky—for central banks, as it would push them into unfamiliar territory of brand management, app development, technology selection, and customer interaction.

    In the sCBDC model, which is a public-private partnership, central banks would focus on their core function: providing trust and efficiency. The private sector, as providers of stablecoins, would be left to satisfy the remaining steps under appropriate supervision and oversight, and to do what they do best: innovate and interact with customers.

    Whether central banks jump on board at all is another matter. Each central bank would weigh the pros and cons related to payment system stability, financial inclusion, and cost efficiency as discussed in a recent IMF staff paper. To the extent that central banks wish to offer a digital alternative to cash, they should consider sCBDC as a potentially attractive option.

    Will sCBDC turn out to be the central-bank money of the future? One thing is sure: the world of fiat money is in flux, and innovation will transform the landscape of banking and money. You can bet your bottom dollar on it.

    Bitcoin will be 'allowed' to grow up because it doesn't currently challenge government issued fiat currencies, anything that does will have a major uphill battle coming.

    BTC = digital gold, and that's a good thing for it currently.
