USD-denominated stablecoins are putting European banking on alert because they can erode deposits, fragment the market, and displace traditional financial intermediation; in the face of this risk, the European Central Bank is opting to develop its own digital currency or public stablecoin, a euro CBDC that seeks to preserve stability, offer traceability, and maintain control of monetary policy.
However, stablecoins are not Bitcoin. 1BTC = 1 BTC and there are only 21 million bitcoins; their scarcity is fixed while their value in fiat currency constantly fluctuates. Stablecoins seek price stability in fiat but depend on collateral, counterparties, and legal structures that introduce risks different from those of native cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.
The concern of European bankers is legitimate. USD stablecoins can facilitate the flight of deposits toward non-bank instruments, accelerate cross-border payments outside European regulatory control, and concentrate power in private issuers. The ECB responds with regulation, supervision, and the design of a CBDC that combines privacy, interoperability, and security, as well as promoting regulatory frameworks for global stablecoins that reduce systemic risk and protect consumers and institutions.
