Global Updates
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said new forms of digital currency such as cryptocurrencies and stablecoins pose risks to the US financial system and will require new rules to protect consumers.
Powell, speaking on Wednesday at a panel hosted by the Bank for International Settlements, a global organization of central bankers, also said new technologies are likely to make electronic payments cheaper and faster. But they could also destabilize existing financial institutions, he said.
The Australian and New Zealand banking group said on Thursday it had made a stable payment in Australian dollars, in a landmark transaction to become the first Australian lender to mint a digital asset linked to the country’s currency. A stablecoin is a digital asset designed to hold its value stable against another asset.
