Crypto Industry News:

Economist Paul Beaudry, who is also deputy president of the Bank of Canada, believes that cryptocurrencies do not pose a threat to the economy at the moment. Paul Beaudry's position contrasts with a recent statement by the former US Secretary of State: Hillary Clinton sees cryptocurrencies as a threat.

No wonder that Canada was not only one of the first countries to approve the Bitcoin ETF, but also ranks fourth when it comes to the hash rate of the BTC network.

The deputy president of the Canadian central bank spoke about cryptocurrencies during the Ontario Securities Commission Dialogue 2021. The economist focused primarily on discussing threats that could affect the stability of the Canadian financial system.

Of course, there was a question about cryptocurrencies, to which Beaudry replied that, according to the Bank of Canada, cryptocurrencies do not develop in a way that could pose a threat to the financial system:

"Developing in a way that creates a systemic type of risk for a financial system".

Among other things, Beaudry's position was argued that cryptocurrencies were sidelined from the main financial system. With time, however, with the increasing capital influencing the crypto market and the increase in the number of people using digital assets, the risk will increase, which is why the bank closely monitors the cryptocurrency market and stablecoins.
