The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) says stablecoins fail key monetary tests and are unfit as the basis of a financial system.

BIS flagged issues with unity (issuer-dependent pricing), elasticity (require 100% pre-funding), and integrity (inconsistent KYC/AML).

It also warned stablecoins may undermine state monetary sovereignty and facilitate financial crimes—despite their benefits in programmability, user access, and fast, low-cost transfers.

Circle shares dropped 15% after the report.
