American credit rating agency Fitch Ratings, one of the \u2018Big Three\u2019 credit rating agencies, has published a report that says stablecoin growth could affect securities and commercial paper (CP) markets. The agency says stablecoins could be \u201cdisruptive\u201d and \u201cstablecoin-related turbulence\u201d could \u201ctransmit shocks\u201d to other markets.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fitch Ratings: \u2018Stablecoins Could Be Disruptive for CP Markets\u2019<\/h2>\n

On Monday, the \u2018Big Three\u2019 credit agency Fitch Ratings published a report<\/a> on stablecoins and the growth of these new assets. The report follows a study<\/a> from Fitch that discusses El Salvador adopting bitcoin (BTC)<\/a> as legal tender in the country. The latest report explains that stablecoins have grown exponentially and the Fitch report\u2019s authors highlight the growth of the popular stablecoin tether (USDT)<\/a>. The study also mentions Facebook\u2019s reported<\/a> plans to launch a stablecoin crypto asset called \u201cDiem.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe rapid growth in stablecoins means these securities holdings are already relatively large,\u201d Fitch noted. \u201cAlthough Tether\u2019s annualised market value growth slowed to 45% in 2Q21, it has risen by 230% since the start of 2021 to 15 October to reach USD68.6 billion,\u201d the rating agency added. This growth and \u201creserve allocations\u201d could end up becoming a \u201csignificant investor group\u201d in the U.S. commercial paper market, the study from Fitch Ratings suggests. The paper adds:<\/p>\n

Stablecoins could be disruptive for CP markets; for example, owing to run risks. Stablecoin-related turbulence could both affect the CP market itself and transmit shocks to other market participants. Risks could be aggravated if the infrastructure and partners used by stablecoin operators to engage with traditional markets lack a record in the smooth handling of transactions during periods of market stress or volatility.<\/p>\n

Fitch Ratings Report: \u2018The Regulatory Approach Towards Stablecoins Will Affect How the Sector Develops\u2019<\/h2>\n

In the article, the term \u201cdisruptive\u201d is highlighted with a hyperlink that leads to another article<\/a> published by Fitch Ratings on July 1, 2021. That specific report says stablecoins could \u201cpose new short-term credit market risks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fitch researchers say in the latest stablecoin report published on Monday, that regulations will define how the stablecoin sector develops. At present, the Fitch authors say regulatory approaches in the EU and U.S. are currently \u201cunclear.\u201d The report alludes to the belief that government entities may be able to keep stablecoins defined under the promise that reserves like cash and low-risk government securities are maintained. Overcollateralization<\/a>, something that algorithmic and decentralized finance (defi) stablecoins<\/a> like DAI leverage, could reduce overall damage, the Fitch report concludes.<\/p>\n

\u201cA requirement for stablecoin operators to hold more reserves in safe and highly liquid assets could reduce allocations to CP, but raise the influence of stablecoins on the short-dated government market,\u201d the Fitch Ratings report explains. \u201cOther initiatives, including the potential launch of central-bank digital currencies, could also significantly affect demand for stablecoins.\u201d<\/p>\n
