According to a recent presentation of the Treasury Indebtedness Advisory Committee, the main stablecoins issuing in the United States already have more than USD 120 billion in Treasury Bonds. This volume reflects the growing weight that projects such as USDT and USDC are acquiring in traditional financial markets. The report warns that the rapid growth of stablecoins, added to market volatility, It could generate additional demand of up to USD 900 billion. They argue that, if these projects grew exponentially, the demand would be correlated and would probably be given at the expense of bank deposits, as users could prefer these alternatives to traditional accounts, especially in contexts of low interest rates or economic instability. From the Committee they affirm that this change could alter the balance of the financial system, affecting the liquidity of the banks and their ability to grant loans. In addition, the report underlines the risks associated with the confidence of projects such as USDT and USDC. They speak that a possible loss of parity with the dollar or a generalized fall in user confidence could trigger massive sales of treasure bonds by the emitters, in order to cover reimbursement requests.
