Opinion: The macro-financial significance of stablecoins depends on where the reserve assets ultimately end up, not the technology layer.

ME News, April 27 (UTC+8): Neira, an architect of Tempo’s tokenized financial product, wrote that the macro-financial significance of payment stablecoins lies not in the software layer, but in the final destination of the reserve assets: if reserves flow into bank deposits, they will restructure the banking system; if they flow into short-term government bonds, they will suppress short-end yields (BIS data: for each unit of net inflow, the 3-month government bond yield falls by 2.5 to 3.5 basis points). If reserves are held at the central bank, it is close to “narrow bank money.” In the cross-border payments layer, stablecoins are essentially a currency exchange business; the key bottleneck is the pre-crediting capacity of destination counterparties, not the on-chain settlement speed. The author believes regulators should monitor the reserve destination and net issuance volume as core indicators, rather than market capitalization. (Source: Foresight News)
