A presidente do Banco Central Europeu, Christine Lagarde, alertou contra a promoção de stablecoins lastreadas em euro emitidas por entidades privadas durante um discurso na sexta-feira. Ela pediu que a Europa se concentre em infraestruturas apoiadas por bancos centrais.

Lagarde falou no Fórum Econômico da América Latina do Banco da Espanha, em Madri. Ela destacou os riscos de grandes stablecoins, como Tether e USDC, que agora dominam um mercado de US$ 310 bilhões, quase todo ele lastreado em dólar. Tais tokens podem transmitir estresse aos mercados de ativos em tempos de turbulência, disse ela, citando o episódio do Silicon Valley Bank em 2023, que brevemente desvinculou o USDC de sua paridade.

O que as pessoas estão dizendo

As reações iniciais no X concentraram-se nos alertas de Lagarde sobre os riscos à estabilidade financeira causados pelas stablecoins lastreadas em dólar americano e na necessidade de uma abordagem europeia distinta. Publicações de alto engajamento notaram discordâncias internas na UE, com alguns usuários céticos quanto à competitividade da Europa e outros vendo as stablecoins como uma ferramenta geopolítica que favorece o domínio do dólar. Jornalistas e analistas compartilharam resumos factuais, além de pedidos por alternativas de bancos centrais.
