The Bank Policy Institute (BPI), a prominent banking lobby group, has intensified its warnings about the risks posed by cryptocurrencies, particularly the instability of stablecoins. The organization highlighted that market disruptions like the October 10 crash, triggered by the depegging of stablecoin USDe and the resulting $20 billion liquidation cascade, could quickly spread into traditional financial systems if crypto becomes more interconnected with mainstream finance.
BPI also cautioned that the pursuit of high stablecoin yields through leveraged DeFi loops amplifies liquidation risks, especially since such deposits lack insurance and current regulations fail to address these vulnerabilities. The group cited a recent case where a fund lost $93 million due to a depegging tied to Stream Finance, warning that similar incidents involving major stablecoins could have far-reaching consequences.
As a solution, BPI has called for a ban on stablecoin rewards to safeguard financial stability. Critics, however, argue that the lobby’s stance is driven less by genuine concern and more by fear of losing depositors to the higher returns offered in crypto markets. Many believe the focus should instead be on enhancing transparency in DeFi, not imposing outright bans.
Alexander Grieve, VP of Government Affairs at Paradigm, dismissed BPI’s position as “narrow-minded.” After its failure to influence the GENIUS Act, reports suggest the lobby is now targeting the CLARITY Act to protect its interests. Meanwhile, the stablecoin market continues to grow, surpassing $300 billion in capitalization and over $1 trillion in transactions, showing strong adoption even as it increasingly diverges from the broader crypto market.
