Financial stability oversight refers to the monitoring and mitigation of risks to the overall financial system. This involves governmental or intergovernmental bodies assessing potential threats to market functioning, credit availability, and payment systems. Their work includes identifying systemic vulnerabilities, coordinating regulatory responses, and implementing measures to prevent crises. In the digital asset realm, this function evaluates the impact of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology on broader economic health.
