全球监管“泼凉水”，稳定币祛魅

Core Viewpoint - The stability of stablecoins is being questioned by major financial institutions, including the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) and the European Central Bank, due to concerns over their ability to serve as a pillar of the monetary system and their potential use in financial crimes [1][3][6]. Regulatory Concerns - BIS highlights that stablecoins have not met the necessary criteria of singularity, elasticity, and integrity to be considered a foundational element of the monetary system [3][4]. - The anonymity of stablecoins raises concerns about their use in money laundering and terrorist financing, as they lack the "Know Your Customer" (KYC) standards present in traditional finance [4][5]. - The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) emphasizes the need for cautious regulation and has expressed a desire to temper public enthusiasm for stablecoins [6][8]. Market Reaction - Following regulatory warnings, stablecoin-related stocks have experienced significant declines, with Circle's stock price dropping from a peak of $299 to $199, reflecting a loss of over 10% in a single day [1][10]. - The market has shifted from a state of exuberance to one of caution, with investors becoming anxious and hesitant to engage [10][11]. Future Outlook - The future role of stablecoins remains uncertain, with potential implications for central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and traditional financial systems [11][12]. - Analysts suggest that the rapid growth of stablecoins may lead to a reconsideration of the necessity for CBDCs in some countries, as stablecoins closely resemble them but are privately issued [11]. - The relationship between stablecoins and traditional financial markets is evolving, with increased risk correlation noted, particularly as traditional financial institutions begin to allocate investments in stablecoins [11][12].
