At the same time, the European Central Bank announced the results of its research, in which it acknowledged that the cryptocurrency does not have any serious impact on the global financial system. It is not only about negative influence, but about any influence in general. This only indicates from which side they approach the consideration of this question and that these are rather subjective opinions. Cryptocurrency is still too short to conclude whether it will have a significant impact on the international financial system.
Exactly, it's about approach. I think that things are shown out of context. I wouldn't say that cryptocurrencies itself pose a risk to banks but unregulated cryptocurrencies without defined legal framework pose a risk.
On the other way it's true that cryptocurrencies in current forn don't represent a risk or impact to global financial system because formaly they are not a part of it.
Banks are also aware that cryptocurrencies are here to stay but they are also trying to find the way for cryptocurrencies to be part of financial and economy system without negative impact and properly regulated.
