Der jüngste Beitrag des IWF befürwortet Stablecoins und nennt sie „größtenteils durch US-Staatsanleihen gedeckt“.
Erst im vergangenen Dezember hat der IWF eine Warnung vor Stablecoins herausgegeben. Link im Artikel.
Derselbe IWF verzögerte einen Kredit an El Salvador aufgrund des Bitcoin-Kaufs.
Der USDT-Emittent Tether hält Bitcoin im Wert von 6,5 Milliarden US-Dollar.
Circle (USDC), PayPal (PYUSD), First Digital (FDUSD), Maker (DAI) und die Trump-Familie (USD1) halten ebenfalls Bitcoins. Details im verlinkten Artikel.
Sind die Regeln nur für die Schwachen gemacht? Kein Wunder, dass Fiat zusammenbricht.

tldr; The IMF has endorsed stablecoins, citing their backing by secure assets like US Treasuries, while discouraging Bitcoin adoption, as seen in its restrictions on countries like El Salvador. Despite this, major stablecoin issuers, including Tether, Circle, and Maker, hold significant Bitcoin reserves. The IMF’s stance highlights the growing influence and challenges of stablecoins in mainstream finance, contrasting with its cautious approach to Bitcoin and cryptocurrency policies in smaller nations.

Is fiat collapsing? The pound in my pocket has been fine since I was born.
My BTC and other crypto has been volatile and can lose half its value over night it seems. It’s a gamble
Yes you are missing a lot. There is no requirement for a stablecoin to involve bitcoin. They are associated with bitcoin because tether is a popular way to buy and sell bitcoin, probably because it has (had?) no kyc so you could access crypto internationally even if you were outside the US banking system. Or wanted to stay out of the US banking system.
The new US regulations allow for legal stable coins if they are backed by US Treasury bills.
This is a thing that could be bad for bitcoin. A real usecase was a digital way to move around money outside of US banking regulations. If you can do that with a stablecoin why accept the volitility of bitcoin?
