ECB President Christine Lagarde warned that large stablecoins like Tether and USDC pose financial stability risks. She cautioned Europe should not simply replicate the US approach to digital currency.

欧洲央行行长克里斯蒂娜·拉加德周五发表讲话，警告欧洲在推进数字欧元项目时不应简单复制美国的稳定币模式。她强调，欧洲需要建立符合自身监管框架和经济需求的数字货币体系。

拉加德指出，美国的稳定币模式主要依赖私营部门发行，缺乏足够的公共监管和货币政策传导机制。欧洲的数字欧元应当作为中央银行数字货币（CBDC），在保持金融稳定的同时促进支付创新。

ECB’s Lagarde Warns Against Copying US Stablecoin Model for Digital Euro

European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde warned Friday that Europe should not simply replicate the US stablecoin model when launching the digital euro. She emphasized that Europe needs its own framework tailored to its regulatory environment and economic needs.

Lagarde noted that the US stablecoin approach relies heavily on private-sector issuance, lacking sufficient public oversight and monetary policy transmission mechanisms. Europe’s digital euro should function as a central bank digital currency (CBDC), promoting payment innovation while maintaining financial stability.
