BIS: Stablecoins pegged to the US dollar could increase pressure on global banks and politics
2026-05-12 09:22:33
TheBank for International Settlements (BIS) has issued a warning about the potential risks associated with the growing proliferation of US dollar-linked stablecoins. According to a recent BIS analysis report, if the volume of transactions involving such digital assets continues to grow, it could lead to significant changes in the global financial system and create new challenges for traditional banks and regulators.The report notes that US dollar-backed stablecoins already account for about 70% of the global stablecoin market, with a combined capitalization of more than $160 billion. According to BIS estimates, further increase of their share may lead to outflow of funds from national banking systems of developing countries and strengthen dollarization of economies, which will make it difficult to conduct independent monetary policy.BIS experts emphasize that the mass use of dollar-stablecoins in cross-border settlements can reduce the effectiveness of liquidity and interest rate control instruments, as well as increase risks to financial stability. Regulators are advised to strengthen international cooperation and develop coordinated approaches to regulating digital assets to minimize potential threats to the global economy.
