The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Tuesday released its monthly bulletin for May 2024. The bulletin covers the significant impact and inherent risks of decentralized finance (defi) and cryptocurrencies on the financial system. "Our findings suggest that people's interest in cryptocurrencies is motivated by speculation rather than as a means of payment for actual economic transactions," the bulletin reads. Retail investors need to be more cautious due to the lack of accountability and stability in the crypto ecosystem and the ambiguity of regulation.
Some cryptocurrencies may have underlying asset backing, but if the underlying asset itself is another volatile digital asset, without transparency and central bank backing, then the cryptocurrency system is vulnerable to a crisis without guarantees.
