The Reserve Bank of India analysts worked to expose the potential ways the emerging stablecoin markets can harm developing economies. In the latest Financial Stability Report released on June 28, the central bank pointed out six dangers presented by stablecoins, further backing its unfavorable views against crypto.
RBI articulated its problems with stablecoins and how it impacts a country’s financial stability. As a firm cryptocurrency critic, RBI detailed the reasons from the emerging markets and developing economies (EMDE’s) perspective, stating the following:
“The lack of authenticated data and inherent data gaps in the crypto ecosystem impede a proper assessment of financial stability risks. “
The FSB report by RBI says, “The pull factors for crypto-assets, which are inevitably denominated in convertible currencies, lack application of full anti-money laundering (AML)/ countering the financing of terrorism (CFT) standards and have features that facilitate anonymity and bypass controls.”
The associated serious risks, according to RBI, include:
RBI capitalized on this opportunity to call for a coordinated global approach, stating:
“A globally coordinated approach is warranted to analyze risks posed to EMDEs vis-à-vis AEs [advanced economies]. […] In this context, under India’s G20 presidency, one of the priorities is to create a framework for global regulation of unbacked crypto-assets, stablecoins, and DeFi.”
Further, RBI has been bullish toward central bank digital currency (CBDC), launching a wholesale digital rupee pilot project in November and a retail digital rupee pilot project in February. It also formed an agreement with the central bank of UAE in March to examine a CBDC bridge, facilitating trade and remittances.
