An early stablecoin? The Bank of Amsterdam and the governance of money

November 10, 2020--Summary
Focus
Trust is the bedrock of a sound monetary system. This paper examines the rise and fall of the Bank of Amsterdam (1609-1820) to gain insights on the central bank underpinnings of money. It sheds light on the governance of digital currencies.

Contribution
This paper draws lessons from the Bank of Amsterdam for the governance of money. The early operational framework of the Bank of Amsterdam resembled a "stablecoin"- where account-based money is backed by assets of stable value and where the money stock is managed passively by the inflows and outflows of assets. Over time, the Bank began to use its balance sheet in a more elastic manner, and to take on some functions of a central bank, including lending activity through overdrafts. In the 1780s, the Bank's lending activity grew excessive, and led ultimately to its downfall.
