BlackRock 2026 Outlook: Stablecoins Challenging Global Monetary Sovereignty, Emerging Markets at the Forefront
BlockBeats News, January 2nd, BlackRock pointed out in its "2026 Global Market Outlook" that stablecoins will challenge national governments' control over fiat currency. With the increasing adoption of stablecoins, there is a risk of shrinking the use of emerging market national currencies. Shortly before this forecast was released, Standard Chartered Bank in the UK warned in October that the widespread adoption of stablecoins could lead to the loss of over $1 trillion in deposits from emerging market bank accounts.
Similar challenges also exist in the US banking industry. The milestone stablecoin law known as the "Innovation Act," which took effect in July of this year, allows crypto companies to offer banking services that traditional banks are prohibited from providing, posing a threat to traditional financial institutions. Samara Cohen, BlackRock's Global Head of Market Development, stated: "Stablecoins are no longer a niche product; they are becoming a bridge between traditional finance and digital liquidity."
