Stablecoins and payments innovation: implications for the singleness of money
As digital payments evolve and stablecoins gain traction, central banks and policy-makers face pressing questions about the future of money. This roundtable explores how stablecoins are reshaping the financial landscape and what this means for the singleness of money – the principle that ensures all units of money in an economy are interchangeable at face value.
Participants will examine the potential benefits of payment innovation, such as increased speed, efficiency and financial inclusion, alongside the risks of fragmentation, reduced monetary control and inconsistent approaches to regulation.
