CryptoQuant CEO: βDark Stablecoinsβ Could Emerge in the Future π§
In response to increasing financial censorship, CryptoQuantβs CEO predicts the rise of βdark stablecoinsβ β censorship-resistant digital dollars that avoid government control. π΅
πΉ Unlike Bitcoin, which is decentralized, most stablecoins (like USDT, USDC) rely on centralized issuers and reserves.
πΉ Future regulations may include auto-taxation, wallet freezes, and ID requirements.
πΉ As a result, users may shift toward decentralized or unregulated alternatives for cross-border transfers.
πΉ Two possible paths: algorithmic stablecoins or those issued by countries ignoring censorship.
πΉ If Tether stops complying with U.S. demands, it could become a "dark" stablecoin again.
