Circle Plummets 15% as BIS Sounds Alarm on Stablecoin Dangers – Is the Crypto Party Over?
Stablecoin giant Circle takes a nosedive while regulators sharpen their knives.
The Bank for International Settlements just dropped a truth bomb that's rattling crypto traders: your beloved stablecoins might be financial time bombs. Meanwhile, Wall Street's latest meme-stock frenzy loses steam faster than a Bitcoin miner facing 90% difficulty adjustment.
Here's why the 'stable' in stablecoin suddenly looks shaky...
• Circle's USDC takes 15% haircut as liquidity fears spread
• BIS report compares unbacked stablecoins to 'pyramid schemes' (ouch)
• Retail traders suddenly remember stocks can go down too
Funny how these 'systemic risks' only get attention after billionaires finish dumping their bags. The crypto market shrugs off another warning – until it doesn't.
