<p>The International Monetary Fund (IMF) reports that dollar-dominated stablecoins are increasingly penetrating emerging markets, potentially undermining central banks' control over liquidity and interest rates.</p>
<p>This rise, particularly notable in regions experiencing high inflation, necessitates legal measures to prevent stablecoins from gaining legal currency status, safeguarding financial stability.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://coincu.com/markets/stablecoin-supply-hits-185-billion/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Stablecoins' proliferation</a></strong> could lead to a shift from home currencies, significantly impacting countries with high inflation. <a href="https://www.imf.org/en/blogs/articles/2025/12/04/how-stablecoins-can-improve-payments-and-global-finance" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">The IMF urges</a> nations to establish legal standards preventing these digital assets from achieving legal tender status.</p>
<p><strong>Reacting to these concerns</strong>, significant emphasis is placed on strengthening regulatory frameworks. Joyston Faisal, an IMF senior economist, noted, “It's imperative that countries fortify their financial systems to withstand potential disruptions posed by stablecoins.”</p>

 "While stablecoins can improve cross-border payments and financial inclusion, these benefits come with heightened macro-financial risks if regulation, supervision, and resolution regimes are weak." — Christine Lagarde, Former Managing Director, International Monetary Fund
