Stablecoins are spreading as a near real-time, 24-hour tool for moving money, raising concerns they could accelerate outflows from bank deposits and national currencies during financial stress or sharp currency declines. The European Central Bank has flagged potential liquidity mismatches between round-the-clock redemptions and reserve assets that move on traditional settlement schedules. The BIS also found stablecoin flows tend to rise alongside foreign-currency deposits in crisis situations.

Tesla is increasingly likely to post another year-on-year drop in vehicle sales as its core auto business weakens, Cryptopolitan reported. The stock is down 21 percent this year while the S&P 500 has risen 12 percent, and Tesla trades about 30 percent below its record high from last December. Fewer analysts now rate the stock a sell, though that shift does not reflect improved earnings expectations. Tesla has seen a rebound in European registrations, but Wall Street remains focused on annual pressure from auto sales.
