El BCE se resiste a relajar las normas para las 'stablecoins' en euros ante el temor al dominio del dólar

Los ministros de Finanzas de la UE y el BCE debatieron la semana pasada en Nicosia formas de impulsar las 'stablecoins' denominadas en euros. Los funcionarios expresaron su preocupación de que los tokens respaldados por dólares puedan debilitar a los bancos europeos y el control de la política monetaria. El BCE rechazó propuestas para suavizar las normas de liquidez o establecer respaldos por parte del banco central.

Los ministros de Finanzas de la UE se reunieron en Nicosia, Chipre, durante una sesión informal de dos días del Consejo de Asuntos Económicos y Financieros el pasado jueves. Los europeos representan el 38% de las transacciones globales de 'stablecoins', sin embargo, los tokens denominados en euros representan solo el 0,3% de la oferta total. El debate se centró en prevenir una mayor dolarización digital a través de 'stablecoins' emitidas de forma privada.
