IMF warns of stablecoin risks for countries with fixed currency exchange ratesThe spread of dollar-pegged stablecoins can increase the vulnerability of countries with fixed exchange rates and accelerate currency crises. Economists at the IMF came to this conclusion in a new study. The authors note that “stable coins” make it easier for the public and businesses to access digital dollar-denominated assets. In conditions of economic uncertainty, this allows funds to be withdrawn from the national currency faster, increasing pressure on central bank reserves and making it more difficult to maintain a fixed exchange rate.
