The last 24 hours have been marked by regulatory alerts and potential structural changes in the crypto ecosystem. Here are the highlights — and what they could really mean for the future of digital assets.
📰 Major News
1. ECB points to systemic risk in stablecoins
The European Central Bank (ECB) warned that the growth of stablecoins could drain retail deposits from banks in the euro area, threatening the banking funding structure.
Moreover, a massive 'run' on these currencies could lead to the forced sale of their reserve assets — potentially impacting U.S. bond markets.
2. Brazil considers taxing international crypto transactions
Sources say that Brazil is considering extending the IOF tax to cross-border crypto transactions, especially those involving stablecoins. The proposal aims to close regulatory gaps while increasing public revenue — and is already receiving attention from financial authorities.
3. ECB monitors AI, geopolitics, and stablecoins
In its latest oversight process, the ECB highlighted the risks related to artificial intelligence, geopolitical tensions, and the growth of stablecoins.
These factors are seen as potential vectors of financial and technological instability, requiring preventive regulation and strategic oversight. Le Monde.fr
🔍 Strategic Interpretation
The ECB's hard stance suggests that stablecoins — as useful as they may be for crypto transactions — could pose macrofinancial risks if they continue to grow unchecked.
In Brazil, the potential taxation on international crypto transactions could redefine how stablecoins are used in the country, combining innovation with greater government control.
The inclusion of AI and stablecoins on the regulatory radar demonstrates that central banks no longer see cryptocurrencies merely as isolated assets, but as a key component in the new global financial system.
