According to Foresight News, citing The Block, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) released a report stating that stablecoins have failed to pass the "three key tests" necessary to become a pillar of the monetary system, including uniqueness, resilience, and completeness. "It remains to be seen what role innovations like stablecoins will play in the future monetary system, but their poor performance in three ideal monetary characteristics makes it difficult for them to become the main body of the future monetary system." However, it also noted that stablecoins do have some advantages, such as programmability, anonymity, and accessibility. Additionally, their "technical attributes suggest they may offer lower costs and faster transaction speeds," especially in cross-border payments.
