ジャマイカ銀行総裁: 暗号通貨「良い支払い手段になるには十分に安定していない」

Not Stable Enough to Be Good Means of Payment

The governor of the Bank of Jamaica, リチャード・バイルズ, has cautioned those using or planning to use cryptocurrencies to be mindful of the unpredictable nature of the assets. Byles also said he considers cryptocurrency an investment instrument rather than a medium of exchange because its value is “not sufficiently stable to be a good means of payment.”

In remarks 公開された by Jamaica Information Service (JIS), Byles, who spoke at a digital and cryptocurrency conference, said the Jamaican central bank takes time to warn people about the volatility of privately issued digital currencies. He also said his institution does not see crypto as a good means of settling transactions. 彼が追加した:

そう, if you’re, hopefully, a sophisticated investor [誰] can understand cryptocurrency, go ahead and use it. But we don’t see it as a currency that is good for transactions and for making payments.

Central Bank to Issue More Cautionary Statements

According to the governor, the Jamaican central bank only backs its central bank digital currency (CBDC). He also emphasized that, unlike cryptocurrencies whose value can either go up or down, “a dollar that you have in your pocket today is the dollar that you have in your pocket tomorrow.”

以前のように 報告 Bitcoin-Tidings.com ニュース, the Bank of Jamaica announced on December 31, 2021, that it completed testing of its CBDC. Following the completion of this phase, the bank is now spearheading the implementation of Jamaica’s CBDC, the JIS report said.
