This week, the Financial Times reported that the IMF, (International Monetary Fund) and the World Bank, are launching a “Learning Coin” on a private blockchain to gain a better understanding of how blockchains work.

In a statement, the IMF said:

“The development of crypto-assets and distributed ledger technology is evolving rapidly, as is the amount of information (both neutral and vested) surrounding it. This is forcing central banks, regulators and financial institutions to recognise a growing knowledge gap between the legislators, policymakers, economists and the technology. This project begins to bridge that gap and form a strong knowledge base of the technology among IMF and World Bank staff.”

what do you think will be the implications?

That's an interesting post but as long as I don't see that there is a link for this IMF statement I am being cautious to trust it.
I think that these are just FOMO news in order to show that the blockchain industry keeps getting attention and it is evolving. Otherwise, the price would be going downwards significantly.
