Speculative activity remains closely tied to global funding rates, highlighting crypto’s growing “interconnectedness” with traditional finance, the BIS report claimed.
Hundreds of billions of dollars in cross-border cryptocurrency payments flow globally, primarily driven by speculative investment, according to a recent report by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS).
The BIS study, published May 8, found cross-border payments using the two largest cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH), and the two largest stablecoins, USDT (USDT) and USDC (USDC), totaled approximately $600 billion during the second quarter of 2024, the final observation period covered by the analysis.
“Our findings highlight speculative motives and global funding conditions as key drivers of native crypto asset flows,” the BIS stated.
