Standard Chartered Predicts $ 1T Bank Outflows in Stablecoins

The multinational bank predicts that more than $ 1 trillion can come out of the emerging bank of the market and flow to Stablecoins by 2028 as demand for crypto dollar assets accelerated.
In a Monday report, the Global Research Department of Standard Chartered Says It hopes that the global adoption of Stablecoin will accelerate as payment networks and other major banking activities have moved to the non-bank sector.
While Stablecoins get traction in the emerging markets (EM), the standard chartered noted that users can use Stablecoins to access what is an important account based on the US dollar. “Stablecoin ownership is more prevalent in EM than DM, suggesting that such a difference is more likely to EM,” Standard Chartered said.
Due to these factors, the Standard Chartered predicts that the stablecoins used for stabbing in emerging markets will increase from $ 173 billion to $ 1.22 trillion by 2028, indicating that approximately $ 1 trillion can come out of emerging market banks over the next three years.
Two-thirds of stablecoin supply that are in emerging markets
The Standard Charter said the biggest disruption from Stablecoins is likely to come from emerging markets, where accessing the US dollar has a history limited.
By providing digital consumers, 24/7 accessing to an account in the USD, Stablecoins represents lower credit risks than deposits held at their local banks, as the U.S. genius law requires them to be fully dollars.
The Standard Charter said this dynamic increases the risk of flying a deposit from EM banking systems to alternative cryptos.
The bank estimated that approximately two-thirds of the current stablecoin supply were in the savings of wallets in the emerging markets.
Standard Chartered added that countries with high inflation, weak reserves and large remittance inflows are at risk of flying deposits to stablecoins.
