India’s top central bank official warns stablecoins threaten financial stability and promotes CBDCs as safer alternatives.
On December 12, 2025, India’s Reserve Bank Deputy Governor T. Rabi Sankar warned that stablecoins pose risks to monetary stability, financial systems, and banking intermediation, lacking the sovereign backing and trust essential to money.
He argued they offer no unique benefits over fiat currency, could enable currency substitution, weaken policy effectiveness, and erode seigniorage revenue.
Sankar emphasized that central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) are superior alternatives, providing digital advantages like programmability and fast settlements while maintaining government control and stability.
India remains cautious, with a possible cryptocurrency ban under review, and continues to prioritize CBDC development over private digital tokens.
