Hello, Asia. Here is what is news on the markets:
Welcome to the morning briefing in Asia, a daily summary of the best stories during the hours and an overview of market movements and analyzes. For a detailed overview of the American markets, see the Americas of the Coindesk Crypto Daybook.
While traders have set themselves on the latest Jerome Powell level signals, the most consecutive story can take place in the stablescoins.
The sector almost doubled in one year at $ 280 billion, most issuers with short -term treasure bills as a guarantee. This links cryptographic liquidity more directly to the federal reserve policy than ever before, according to the CEO of OKX Singapore, Gracie Lin.
“While markets are still digesting Powell’s latest comments on rates, a more consecutive long-term change occurs beyond graphics and titles. It is in the so-called” boring “stablescoins that we see better long-term price signals,” said Lin Coindesk in a note.
“The next step is unification – the stablecoins have built the rails, they now need a unified market that offers liquidity, efficiency and real utility for investors,” continued Lin.
Coinbase Analysts Project The market could inflate $ 1.2 billion by 2028, forcing $ 5.3 billion in new cash purchases each week. The entries can slightly lower the yields, but the risk takes place on the contrary: the redemption overvoltages could trigger the forced sale of invoices and the draining liquidity.
The debate continued in a recent episode of the Podcast of the exchanges of Goldman Sachs, where Barry Eichengreen of UC Berkeley warned that the stablecoins could reproduce the panic of the 2008 money market fund.
“When a dollar market share in dollars fell to 97 cents in 2008, chaos broke out, the contagion fears spread and the government intervened to guarantee funds,” he said.
The former American currency controller Brian Brooks has at the podcast that the new engineering law, which requires support for the individual treasury, reflects the national banking reforms that have ended the “wild banking” era.
“Supervision is equivalent to security,” he said. “Whenever a new token is issued, another dollar of treasure titles must be purchased.”
This rope shot captures the macro dilemma.
The Coinbase model shows the stable stablescoins shaving points on treasury yields, Brooks calls it a new engine of global demand in dollars, and Eichengreen warns of a 2008 style liquidity tightening. Lin, on the other hand, argues that the rails are already there – and the question is whether they unify in a market that stabilizes the system or the fracture in instruments.
