Group 2: Factors Driving Growth - The rise of distributed ledger technology and the rapid development of digital currencies and virtual economies are key factors driving the growth of stablecoins [2]. - Stablecoins offer high payment efficiency, particularly in cross-border transactions, and can operate without the need for bank accounts, making them attractive in regions with underdeveloped banking systems [2]. - Issuers of stablecoins can retain interest income from reserve assets, contributing to increased profitability in recent years [2]. Group 3: Regulatory Impact - A clearer regulatory framework is expected to enhance the balance between efficiency and safety in stablecoin development, addressing risks related to compliance and redemption [3]. Group 4: Implications for Global Monetary System - The dominance of dollar-pegged stablecoins is expected to continue in the short term, but other currencies like the euro, yen, pound, and even the renminbi may gain traction in the medium to long term [4]. - If stablecoins include assets beyond fiat currencies, such as credit-derivative bonds, they could lead to credit expansion similar to "shadow banking," potentially increasing overall liquidity [4]. - The U.S. GENIUS Act mandates that dollar stablecoin reserves must be held in cash and short-term U.S. Treasury securities, which could distort yield curves and impact financial conditions [4].
