IMF Chief Georgieva Speaks Positively About Cryptocurrencies
International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said that countries should “accept the reality” of rapid developments in cryptocurrencies.
Georgieva argued that financial systems should adapt to this transformation rather than resist it and manage risks.
The IMF issued significant warnings to central banks in its latest assessment. The institution emphasized the need to be vigilant against inflation risks stemming from customs duties and emphasized the need to avoid excessive easing of monetary policy. The IMF warned that such easing could lead to further increases in risky asset prices.
The statement noted that central bank independence is critical to balancing market expectations and ensuring institutions effectively fulfill their mandates. However, the IMF did not name any countries or institutions in this assessment.
The agency also called for “urgent fiscal adjustment” to control budget deficits and maintain the resilience of bond markets.
The IMF report also warned that increasing linkages between banks and less regulated non-financial institutions could exacerbate shocks in areas like private credit and cryptocurrencies. The IMF urged policymakers to assess these “hidden risks” more comprehensively and, in particular, closely monitor risk pass-through between banks and non-bank financial institutions.

The last mile of blockchain, the first mile of Megaeth: Taking over global assets
1. The blockchain project Megaeth has recently reached a critical milestone with its public sale, marking the official start of the project. Its goal is to build the world's fastest public chain to solve the "last mile" problem of blockchain's management of global assets. 2. Industry observations indicate that the crypto punk spirit has been weakening year by year, and the industry's focus is shifting towards high-performance infrastructure. Against this backdrop, Megaeth is advancing the implementation of its project, emphasizing that the blockchain industry has moved past the early exploratory phase, and high performance has become key to supporting the next stage of application scenarios. 3. Industry insiders believe that all infrastructure has a "late-mover advantage," and blockchain also needs to go through a process of performance upgrades to drive scenario expansion. High performance is seen as the key to unlocking larger-scale applications. 4. With multiple chains exploring performance pathways, Megaeth positions itself as aiming to be the "fastest public chain," attempting to solve the challenge of "trillions of transactions on-chain." The team believes that addressing real-world problems is the most effective path, regardless of whether it is Layer1 or Layer2. 5. Megaeth's public sale is seen as the beginning of its "first mile" journey.
