At the 3rd Bund Financial Summit, New York Fed President John C. Williams said that financial innovations including digital currencies and cryptocurrencies are now surging. From the perspective of financial stability, digital currencies may follow Mutual funds and money market funds are somewhat similar. To ensure that as new technologies, especially digital currencies, begin to be used, the existing good aspects must be considered, and the risks to consumers and investors must also be concerned about financial stability.
Williams said that at present, many central banks are carefully studying these issues and are considering how to use technology to help everyone while ensuring financial stability.
