Stablecoins pose bank disintermediation risks, economists argue
Original: Stablecoins and the macroeconomy: Bank disintermediation versus fiscal space
Economists are examining how widespread stablecoin adoption could reshape the macroeconomy, weighing two opposing effects: stablecoins may pull deposits away from traditional banks, weakening their lending role, while also potentially expanding fiscal space for governments that benefit from demand for short-term government debt backing the tokens. The debate highlights unresolved policy questions over how to regulate dollar-pegged crypto assets as their market grows.
Why now: Policymakers and economists are actively debating stablecoin regulation as adoption grows and its macroeconomic consequences become clearer.
