[ECB Official Warns: Stablecoin Runs Could Force ECB to Adjust Interest Rate Path] BlockBeats News, November 17, according to FT, Olaf Sleijpen, President of the Dutch Central Bank and member of the ECB Governing Council, warned that if a run on stablecoins occurs, it could force the European Central Bank (ECB) to readjust its interest rate path. The impact would not be limited to financial stability but could also quickly transmit to the European economy and inflation. Sleijpen stated that the scale of USD stablecoins has surged 48% this year to over $300 billion and has accelerated its expansion following regulatory easing in the United States. If a redemption wave occurs for stablecoins backed by U.S. Treasury bonds as underlying assets, it could trigger a 'rapid sell-off' of assets, posing systemic risks to global markets.
