On 16 February 2022, the Financial Stability Board (FSB) published an assessment of risks to financial stability from crypto-assets.

The authors of the report take a look at three segments of the crypto-asset markets: unbacked crypto-assets (such as Bitcoin), stablecoins, as well as decentralised finance (DeFi) and other crypto-asset trading platforms. According to the FSB, the crypto-asset market, due to its scale, structural vulnerabilities and increasing interconnectedness with the traditional financial system, may represent a threat to financial stability. The rapid evolution and international nature of crypto-asset markets may also give rise to regulatory gaps between countries. This is why the authors of the report call for appropriate steps to mitigate the risks to financial stability.
