BlockBeats News, November 17th, According to FT, Olaf Sleijpen, President of the Dutch Central Bank and Member of the ECB's Executive Board, warned that once a stablecoin faces a run, it may force the European Central Bank (ECB) to readjust its interest rate path. The impact is not only limited to financial stability but may also quickly transmit to the European economy and inflation.

Sleijpen stated that the scale of the USD stablecoin has surged by 48% to over $300 billion this year, accelerating its expansion after regulatory relaxation in the United States. If a large number of stablecoins with US bonds as underlying assets face a run, it may trigger an asset "fire sale," causing systemic risks to the global market.
