Potential Issues for Stablecoins

Nigel Green, CEO of DevereGroup investment fund, warns that stablecoins may face several problems in the coming months due to a three-phase plan being implemented by the United States government.

• Phase two involves imposing regulatory obstacles on stablecoins, making it increasingly difficult to exchange them for traditional money.

• Phase three aims to ensure that the only way capital can enter and exit the cryptocurrency market is through its own digital currency (CBDC).
