Central Banker Says Crypto 'Miserably' Failed Test of Money, Will Make Way for CBDCs and TradFi Products: Report

Ravi Menon, the managing director of the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), has stated that cryptocurrencies have failed as a medium of exchange or store of value and will eventually leave the scene. Menon believes that the future monetary system will consist of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), tokenized bank liabilities, and regulated stablecoins. MAS has invested in the development of a regulatory framework for stablecoins, but the legislative amendments for the stablecoin regulatory framework will not be ready for at least a year.
