Brace yourself: apparently, stablecoins just shuffled around $35 trillion (yes, with a ‘T’) in the last year. Feeling inadequate about your savings account? Same. Meanwhile, their average supply stayed at this suspiciously precise $195 billion—sort of like always having a packed fridge yet claiming you’re “out of snacks.”
Sure, these tokens make the crazy world of crypto look almost functional: swaps, loans, late-night cross-border transfers that sound a little shadier than Venmo-ing your mate for pizza. But the billion-dollar question: are these digital poker chips actual “money,” or just Monopoly pieces for adults with trust issues?
And Now, A Traffic Jam—Crypto Style
The reports are clear: stablecoins are the exhausted donkeys hauling everyone’s digital dreams up the mountain. Thirty-five trillion in volume, just this year, and somehow the supply stubbornly refuses to change. It’s as if USDC and USDT got bored, parked the car, and refused to get back on the road until someone defines what exactly they’re supposed to be. Trading? Parked. Payment platforms? Glued together by hope, memes, and spreadsheet magic.
Featuring: IMF Official Plays “Is This Money or Not?”
Enter Bo Li—no relation to Baloney, despite current mood—Deputy Managing Director at the IMF. He heads up to Davos, presumably after three espressos, and asks (with all the existential dread of someone picking a Netflix show): “Are stablecoins M0, M1, or… something we make up because none of this makes sense?” Get the answer wrong and suddenly banks, regulators, and that guy at work who invested in Dogecoin, all panic.
Meanwhile, the globe is busy playing DIY-monetary-policy: experiments everywhere, some about as robust as a flatpack bookshelf missing half the screws. Stay tuned to see who topples.
Key Takeaways: IMF’s Bo Li basically said, “Guys, we still have no idea what these things are, and the world’s still winging it.” On the plus side: great hashtags and global confusion. #Stablecoin #Cryptocurrency #IMF #Regulation #Finance

The US? Prepping the GENIUS Act (“Genius,” because branding is all we have left). Europe’s on its own bureaucratic odyssey. Hong Kong: “Watch this space; we’ve got an Ordinance coming in August.” It’s all very organized—if organized meant three people building IKEA furniture in separate rooms with no instructions.
Businesses must choose: wrestle conflicting rules in New York, Brussels, Hong Kong, or admit despair and buy snacks instead. Confusion and costs? Absolutely. Global clarity? About as likely as finding your AirPods on the first try.
Bo Li’s conclusion: disjointed rules aren’t just an academic migraine—they let dodgy types through. So, the IMF, the Financial Stability Board, and Basel Committee are now in a group chat, hopefully developing a rulebook everyone reads before agreeing to a pub quiz. If they pull it off, maybe regulators everywhere will play nice (for once) and not just copy each other’s homework.
Stablecoin supply: $250 billion and counting, mostly camped out in Bitcoin, waiting for the next opportunity to break out and party like it’s altcoin season. Analysts keep seeing “chart patterns” (read: tea leaves) that suggest something big could happen. Until then, stablecoins remain: right at the center, doing all the heavy lifting, and still not sure if they’re actually money—or just everyone’s favorite digital stress ball. 🤷♀️💸
