The adoption of cryptocurrencies in emerging markets raises risks to monetary sovereignty and financial resilience, the giant qualifications of Moody’s ratings credit grades in a report on Thursday.
The risks are more acute in the areas where the use of cryptography extends beyond investment in savings and remittances, according to the report. Moody’s suggests that greater penetration of stable stables linked to the US dollar weakens monetary transmission when it leads to prices and settlements more and more outside the national currency of a market.
The stable are cryptographic tokens linked to the value of a traditional financial asset, such as a fiduciary currency, with the American dollar comfortably the most frequent.
“This creates pressures of ‘cryptoization’ analogous to unofficial dollar, but with opacity of the dining room and less regulatory visibility,” said Moody’s.
The cryptocurrency can also provide new forms of capital flight, through pseudonym wallets and exchange on the high seas, allowing people to move wealth abroad discreetly, undermining the stability of the exchange rate, according to the report.
Moody’s also highlighted how the increase in the property of cryptocurrency in emerging markets has been concentrated, particularly in Southeast Asia, Africa and parts of Latin America. Here, adoption is often driven by inflationary pressure, pressed currency and limited access to banking services. In contrast, adoption in more advanced economies, adoption is promoted by institutional integration and regulatory clarity.
Crypto’s property expanded to an estimated 562 million people by 2024, an increase of 33% since 2023, according to the report.
