A financial stability mandate is a primary objective assigned to central banks and financial regulators to safeguard the overall health and resilience of the financial system. This mandate involves identifying and mitigating systemic risks that could disrupt economic operations. It requires continuous monitoring of market conditions and the implementation of policies to prevent crises. The goal is to ensure the smooth functioning of payment systems and financial intermediation.
Context

Concerns include market volatility, liquidity risks, and the potential for contagion to traditional finance. Regulators are actively discussing how to extend existing stability frameworks to cover novel digital financial products. News often highlights policy proposals and stress tests aimed at integrating or containing the crypto market within broader financial stability considerations.
