The International Monetary Fund (IMF) warns that cryptoassets, cryptocurrencies, and stablecoins are becoming a new source of risk to the global economy and financial stability. The IMF cautions that the growing integration between these digital assets and the traditional financial system could accelerate and worsen future crises, creating shockwaves in both emerging and developed markets. The report highlights that non-bank financial intermediaries often operate with opaque structures and little oversight, making risk assessment difficult. The IMF calls for stronger regulatory supervision to mitigate the risks of contagion and potential systemic impact on the traditional banking sector.
