IMF 총재, 스테이블코인은 피라미드

국제통화기금(International Monetary Fund, IMF) 총재 크리스탈리나 게오르기에바(Kristalina Georgieva)가 다보스포럼(DAVOS World Economy Forum)에서 스테이블코인은 피라미드라고 말했습니다.

"스테이블코인은 큰 혼란이 일어난 영역입니다. 스테이블코인이 자산으로 뒷받침된다면 이는 안정적 코인입니다. 그러나 자산으로 뒷받침되지 않으면서 20% 수익을 이야기할 경우 이것은 피라미드입니다. 피라미드는 결국 산산조각날 것입니다."

• Stablecoins that are not backed by assets to support them are a “pyramid,” Kristalina Georgieva, the head of the International Monetary Fund said.
• Georgieva was hinting at the collapse of algorithmic stablecoin terraUSD and sister token luna.
• Earlier this month, terraUSD lost its dollar peg. Luna, the sister token of terraUSD, crashed to $0.
• The episode fueled a massive slump in cryptocurrencies which saw billions of dollars of value wiped off the market.

“When we look at stablecoins this is the area where the big mess happened. If a stablecoin is backed with assets, one to one, it is stable. When it is not backed with assets, but it is promised to deliver 20% return, it’s a pyramid,” Kristalina Georgieva, managing director of the IMF, said during a panel moderated by CNBC at the World Economic Forum on Monday.
“What happens to pyramids? ... They eventually fall to pieces.”
