DLT is the key design feature of cryptocurrency bitcoin, which was invented in 2009.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStablecoins offer the possibility of so-called \u2018smart\u2019 contracts\u2014i.e., self-executing code, and possibilities for \u2018programmable money\u2019,\u201d say Arner, Auer and Frost.<\/p>\n<p>Tech giant Facebook\u2019s move into digital money is also part of the stablecoin trend.<\/p>\n<p>Last year <a href=\"https:\/\/newmoneyreview.com\/index.php\/2019\/06\/18\/zuckerberg-launches-his-global-currency-project\/\">Facebook proposed a new payments coin called Libra<\/a>\u2014a digital token that will enable payment and settlement across the media giant\u2019s messaging systems, which count over 2bn users.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStablecoin proposals like Libra claim that they will make possible new forms of online exchange through their 24\/7 availability, borderless nature, fractionalisation and integration with non-financial services,\u201d say Arner, Auer and Frost.<\/p>\n<p>This type of network could easily supersede existing payment mechanisms, they say.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn this light, [stablecoins] aim to challenge existing digital means of payment for e-commerce like traditional bank payments, credit cards and electronic wallets,\u201d say Arner, Auer and Frost.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/cfe4ca11-139a-4d4e-8a65-b3be3a0166be\">Today, the <em>Financial Times<\/em> reported<\/a> that Facebook will launch its first version of Libra as soon as January, in the form of a single currency (US dollar-backed) stablecoin.<\/p>\n<p>One way for monetary authorities to stay on top of the forthcoming stablecoin explosion, say Arner, Auer and Frost, is to embed supervision and regulation within the token design itself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEmbedded supervision is a framework that provides for compliance to be automatically monitored by reading the ledger of a DLT-based market,\u201d say the authors.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>stablecoins aim to challenge existing digital means of payment<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIt can be used to improve the quality of data available to the supervisor, while reducing the need for firms to actively collect, verify and report data to authorities,\u201d they say.<\/p>\n<p>The embedded supervision approach could then be extended to other forms of digital asset, such as shares, bonds and property represented by entries on distributed ledgers, say Arner, Auer and Frost.<\/p>\n<p>However, for this approach to supervision to work, legal systems need to be brought up to date, say the authors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe connection between the claim on or ownership in the underlying asset and the record of the digital token must ultimately be established by the legal system and relevant contractual arrangements,\u201d say Arner, Auer and Frost.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is true for stablecoins, but also for assets such as real estate or shares in a bricks-and-mortar business. Importantly, this means that just as in a traditional financial system, a decentralised financial system needs to be backed up by an effective legal and judicial system and supporting enforcing institutions for contractual arrangements.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/eepurl.com\/du6eTr\">Sign up here<\/a> for the New Money Review newsletter<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/blubrry.com\/newmoneyreview\/\">Click here<\/a> for a full list of episodes of the New Money Review podcast: the future of money in 30 minutes<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Central banks are braced for a world in which digital dollar tokens called stablecoins explode in value, posing a threat to governments&#8217; ability to monitor the financial system.
