穆迪 2026 年展望：稳定币将成为核心市场基础设施
ChainCatcher 消息，据 Cointelegraph 报道，穆迪最新跨行业展望报告指出，稳定币正从加密原生工具转变为机构市场基础设施核心。 其周一发布的报告显示，据行业对链上交易（非单纯银行间资金流动）的估算，2025 年稳定币结算量较前一年增长约 87%，规模约达 9 万亿美元。穆迪认为，法币抵押型稳定币和代币化存款正成为日益代币化金融系统中用于流动性管理、抵押品转移和结算的“数字现金”。穆迪将稳定币与代币化债券、基金、信贷产品并列，视为传统与数字金融融合的一部分。 2025 年，银行、资管公司和市场基建提供商纷纷开展区块链结算网络、代币化平台和数字托管试点，以简化发行、交易后流程及日内流动性管理。随着企业构建大规模代币化和可编程结算基础设施，报告估算，到 2030 年这些举措将吸引超 3000 亿美元投资数字金融和基建领域。在此格局下，稳定币和代币化存款日益成为跨境支付、回购和抵押品转移的结算资产。 穆迪强调，若稳定币要成为可靠机构结算资产而非系统性脆弱新来源，安全性、互操作性和治理与监管明确性同等重要。
