Stablecoins\u2019 durability is called into doubt in the working paper \u201cStablecoins, Money Market Funds, and Monetary Policy,\u201d which demonstrates that contractionary U.S. policy has a greater detrimental effect on stablecoins than market shocks.<\/p>\n<p>The ECB study looks at the responses of money market funds (MMFs) and stablecoins to different economic shocks. The analysis disproves the notion that stablecoins are safe havens during volatile times in the cryptocurrency market. Stablecoins respond to shocks in the cryptocurrency markets with minimal lag. But MMFs see a significant drop in market capitalization of up to 4%.<\/p>\n<p>The research highlights that U.S. monetary policy changes have a much greater effect on stablecoins. During contractionary periods, stablecoins like Tether (USDT) and Circle\u2019s USDC saw market cap reductions of up to 10%. In contrast, MMFs gained significantly during these times, attracting inflows as investors moved away from bank deposits.<\/p>\n<h2>Stablecoins\u2019 Role as a Safe-Haven in Question<\/h2>\n<p>The report challenges the belief that stablecoins are uncorrelated with traditional financial markets. It concludes that U.S. dollar-based monetary policy serves as a \u201ckey nexus\u201d between traditional and crypto markets. The authors note,<em> \u201cStablecoins\u2019 role as a crypto safe-haven is questionable and does not extend to either crypto or traditional financial market shocks.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>As stablecoins face increasing pressure from U.S. monetary policy, their status as a secure option in both crypto and traditional markets is being reevaluated. Investors may turn to more established financial assets during such periods, signaling the limitations of stablecoins as a reliable refuge.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\"> <strong><strong>Get 125% \/ $2,500 on 1st deposit!<\/strong><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>New players only.
