Galipolo Vow on Higher-for-Longer Brazilian Rates Boosts Bets on Cycle's End

Bloomberg19-05-2025
Central bank President Gabriel Galípolo said Brazil needs interest rates to remain at a very restrictive level for longer, boosting investors' bets that policymakers could stop the current tightening cycle at their next meeting in June.
The bank has front-loaded monetary policy and now it's logical to keep it tight for a longer period of time, Galípolo said during an event Monday in São Paulo organized by Goldman Sachs Group Inc.. The governor also said Brazil isn't even close to debating an inflection in monetary policy.

It's Been The 'Summer of Stablecoins,' Goldman Says. Will Traditional Finance Be Upended?

Key Takeaways The roughly $270 billion global stablecoins market stands to disrupt the traditional financial services industry, but to what degree remains an "open question," according to a recent Goldman Sachs report. Goldman analysts say that concerns about the potential disintermediation of companies that provide payment and remittance services are overdone. The firm sees Circle's USDC taking greater share of the stablecoin market at the expense of Tether's offshore USDT. The first federal regulatory system signed into law brought about something of a summer awakening for stablecoins. Whether the roughly $270 billion global market in tokens pegged to real-world currencies will grow to trillions, and eat into traditional financial services industries, remains to be seen. Stablecoins, now predominantly used for crypto trading and for dollar access outside of the U.S., have been prophesied to replace and modernize legacy systems with blockchain efficiency. However, total disruption is unlikely, Goldman Sachs Research said in a report published Tuesday. Analysts including Will Nance and James Yaro wrote that stablecoin benefits will accrue to the infrastructure layer of the financial sector, particularly in interbank payments, as well as settlements in capital markets, complex, and cross-border transactions. However, they see "limited threats" to payments services, including the consumer card ecosystem, and that their collective underperformance presents an opportunity to buy. Visa (V) and Mastercard (MA) are less rivals and more"likely to play a large role in facilitating stablecoin payments at scale in a consumer context," the report said. Also, risk to remittance players, including Remitly (RELY) and Western Union (WU), are exaggerated, according to the report. Goldman thinks GENIUS Act-compliant stablecoins such as Circle's (CRCL) USDC will take greater share at the expense of USDT, Tether's offshore stablecoin. The firm sees $77 billion of growth in USDC, or an estimated compound annual growth rate of 40% from 2024 to 2027. Tether's USDT is the world's largest stablecoin, with a $165 billion market cap, compared to Circle USDC's $66 billion, according to research platform However, with Circle's elevated valuation after its blockbuster IPO earlier this year, Goldman favors Robinhood (HOOD) for its continued innovation in crypto.
