Their market capitalization has grown fourfold since the start of 2021.<\/p>\n<p>But the lack of transparency around the reserves backing stablecoins have left many wondering whether their growth is actually sustainable. Major stablecoins&#8217; recent disclosures showed that only a portion of their reserves is made up of cash, while a significant amount is kept in the form of riskier assets such as commercial papers. <\/p>\n<p>Some analysts are worried that, in the event of a market downturn, stablecoin issuers might struggle to meet their clients\u2019 redemption requests. That could potentially trigger a collapse in investors\u2019 trust in those stablecoins, with serious consequences for the overall crypto market. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe whole thing holds up as long as everybody believes it&#8217;s fine and they&#8217;re all using it for their own trading and nobody&#8217;s ever trying to cash out\u201d, said Frances Coppola, financial commentator and vocal stablecoin critic. <\/p>\n<p>Governments around the globe are also concerned that a stablecoin meltdown could spill over into the traditional financial markets and they are calling for stricter regulation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>How serious is the risk posed by stablecoins? What are the possible scenarios following a major stablecoin collapse?
