Crypto speculation dominates $600B cross-border payments: BIS report

Crypto speculation dominates $600B cross-border payments: BIS report

Hundreds of billions of dollars in cross-border cryptocurrency payments flow globally, primarily driven by speculative investment, according to a recent report by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS). The BIS study, published May 8, found cross-border payments using the two largest cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin ( BTC ) and Ether ( ETH ), and the two largest stablecoins, USDT ( USDT ) and USDC ( USDC ), totaled approximately $600 billion during the second quarter of 2024, the final observation period covered by the analysis. “Our findings highlight speculative motives and global funding conditions as key drivers of native crypto asset flows,” the BIS stated.

The researchers pointed out that geographical barriers have less influence on cryptocurrency transactions compared to traditional financial systems.

This indicates increasing interconnectedness between cryptoassets as speculative assets and mainstream finance.” Additionally, crypto-specific risks and heightened public awareness significantly influence crypto investment flows, reinforcing their role as speculative assets, according to the BIS. The findings were published nearly a month after the BIS warned that the number of investors and amount of capital in crypto and decentralized finance (DeFi ) have “reached a critical mass,” posing a threat to financial stability and global wealth inequality, Cointelegraph reported on April 19.

As for USDT, Russia and Turkey accounted for over 12% of the cross-border transactions using the world’s largest stablecoin.
