South African Reserve Bank Governor Lesetja Kganyago warned that the increasing popularity of stablecoins could lead to a "fragmentation" of related crypto assets. Speaking at the 2026 Warwick Economic Summit, Kganyago stated that central banks have a responsibility to "maintain the unity of the currency and its affordability for the public," and the development of stablecoins could pose a challenge to this goal. He pointed out that stablecoins, as digital tokens typically backed by assets such as US Treasury bonds and designed to be pegged to fiat currencies, have recently been increasingly used in South Africa as relatively low-volatility crypto asset instruments. The South African Reserve Bank had previously warned in November 2025 that the lack of comprehensive regulation of stablecoins was becoming a new risk to the country's financial system. Furthermore, Kganyago stated that rising global uncertainty highlights the importance of multiple financial models for central banks, especially in the context of changes such as US tariffs.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong posted on social media that while the crypto market has experienced significant volatility in the past few days, this is not new, as the crypto industry has already gone through multiple market cycles. In his personal opinion, the current volatility will not change his long-term bullish stance on crypto assets. Armstrong pointed out that crypto technology is rapidly eroding the traditional financial services landscape, and the process of reshaping the financial system is still underway. At the same time, Coinbase will continue to deliver products and services in any market environment, focusing on driving the updates and upgrades of the financial system.
