As an umbrella organization owned by 60 of the world\u2019s central banks, cryptocurrencies have emerged as a direct challenge to what BIS describes as the promotion of \u201cmonetary and financial stability through international cooperation\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Since its inception in 1930, the Switzerland-based BIS has a long history of financial intervention \u2014 having <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bank_for_International_Settlements#History\">implemented<\/a> the post-WWII remedial Bretton Woods System, and emerged to provide emergency funding to nations in financial turmoil (Mexico and Brazil, 1982 and 1989, respectively).<\/p>\n<p>Where Bitcoin and other decentralized cryptocurrencies have emerged to eliminate financial crises using transparent, unalterable circulating supplies \u2014 they are not the answer, according to Carstens.<\/p>\n<p>Historically, the BIS chief has had a preference for financial intervention. Faced with 2009\u2019s plummeting oil price, the then-Mexican finance minister <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/f177cdcc-9bdf-11de-b214-00144feabdc0\">hedged<\/a> the nation\u2019s oil sales for $70 a barrel to avoid a severe fallout.<\/p>\n<p>Describing the role of central banks, Carstens stated:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Money is, so to speak, the oil that makes the machinery work. But this system is fragile. Problems quickly arise when there's too much or too little money in circulation. It's the central banks' job to forestall such problems.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In closing, Carstens emphasized that no medium could substitute the trust placed in central banks and appealed for young people to \u201cstop trying to create money\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The General Manager of the Bank of International Settlements (BIS) expressed a dystopian ending for cryptocurrencies \u2014 arguing that \u201ccreating money from nothing\u201d has \u201cnever worked.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":175,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"prediction_market_topic":[],"post_folder":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v21.9 (Yoast SEO v21.9.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>BIS Chief on Cryptocurrency: &quot;Stop Trying to Create Money&quot;<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/bis-chief-on-cryptocurrency-stop-trying-to-create-money\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"BIS Chief on Cryptocurrency: &quot;Stop Trying to Create Money&quot;\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The General Manager of the Bank of International Settlements (BIS) expressed a dystopian ending for cryptocurrencies \u2014 arguing that \u201ccreating money from nothing\u201d has \u201cnever worked.&quot;\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/bis-chief-on-cryptocurrency-stop-trying-to-create-money\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"CryptoSlate\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2018-07-07T02:00:32+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2019-11-25T04:24:45+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/cryptoslate-cover.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"630\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jonnie Emsley\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:title\" content=\"BIS Chief on Cryptocurrency: &quot;Stop Trying to Create Money&quot;\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@cryptoslate\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@cryptoslate\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jonnie Emsley\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"NewsArticle\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/bis-chief-on-cryptocurrency-stop-trying-to-create-money\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/bis-chief-on-cryptocurrency-stop-trying-to-create-money\/\"},\"author\":{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/author\/jonnie-emsley\/#person\",\"name\":\"Jonnie Emsley\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/author\/jonnie-emsley\/\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/author\/jonnie-emsley\/\"},\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/author\/jonnie-emsley\/#authorimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/author-jonnie-emsley.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/author-jonnie-emsley.jpg\",\"caption\":\"Jonnie Emsley\"},\"jobTitle\":\"Contributor\",\"description\":\"Jonnie is a writer and blockchain enthusiast based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
