The IMF's recent reports mention XRP Ledger and Stellar alongside Ethereum and Solana as public blockchains used by major banks for issuing regulated stablecoins, such as Société Générale's EUR CoinVertible. This signals growing institutional experimentation with permission-less blockchain networks.

The IMF does not rank these blockchains but acknowledges their role in the evolving financial infrastructure.
