Crypto Industry News:

The head of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) seemed to change his mind 180 degrees for issuing digital currencies, according to a new press interview.

The head of BIS, Augustin Carstens, actively supported the creation and publication of digital versions of national fiat currencies:

"Many central banks are working on it, we are working on it, supporting it. It may happen that the market will exist earlier than expected and we will have to be able to provide central bank digital currencies," he said.

Comments aroused the curiosity of many people. They only appeared a few months after Carstens strongly advised against issuing such digital currencies. In a speech in March, he mentioned various types of risks for banks considering such behavior, claiming that innovations should not come too fast.

In addition, both BIS and Carstens are strong critics of decentralized cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin. Last year, he described Bitcoin as being lacking in the possibility of acting as money and urging young people to "stop trying to create money."
