TechFlow, August 26 — According to Markets, the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City released data showing that stablecoin issuers hold approximately $125 billion in U.S. Treasury securities, less than 2% of the total outstanding treasury securities of $6 trillion. In comparison, insurance companies hold about five times that amount, while mutual funds—the largest private buyers—hold $4.5 trillion, which is 36 times more.
Stefan Jacewitz, an economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, pointed out in a research analysis that although the current stablecoin market is too small to significantly impact demand for U.S. Treasuries, its size is expected to grow substantially in the coming years. As funds shift from bank deposits into stablecoins, this potential capital flow could increase demand for Treasuries, but may also reduce the supply of loans in the economy.
