Summary
The Bank for International Settlements is warning that private stablecoins, despite being pegged to real money, pose serious risks to global financial stability and national monetary control. The BIS urges central and commercial banks to accelerate their own regulated tokenized money systems, arguing they’re far safer than volatile private digital coins. A mass shift to stablecoins could cripple lending, slow economic growth, and especially harm countries with weak currencies by undermining their central banks’ authority and exposing them to unstable international capital flows. The BIS also rejects public blockchains like Bitcoin or Ethereum for core finance, citing scalability, accountability, and speed issues. Instead, they propose a “unified ledger” model that integrates tokenized central and commercial bank money on trusted, regulated platforms — preserving the speed of digital assets while maintaining the stability and oversight of traditional finance.
