BIS Reveals How Stablecoins Are Bypassing Capital Controls
A study by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) finds that dollar-pegged stablecoins are circumventing capital controls in over 130 economies, posing challenges to monetary policy in emerging markets. Stablecoins flow through crypto exchanges, peer-to-peer markets, and self-hosted wallets, bypassing traditional banking restrictions. The research shows stablecoin inflows are unaffected by capital controls, unlike traditional foreign currency deposits. This trend may undermine monetary sovereignty, especially in emerging economies with high inflation, currency depreciation, or foreign exchange restrictions.

The article questions the contradiction between management's proclaimed 'long-termism' and their actual actions, and reassesses Circle's valuation logic: its revenue heavily depends on USDC reserve yields, facing challenges from interest rate cuts and intensifying competition.
