Meanwhile, Europe expects partial implementation of CryptoAsset Markets (MiCA) regulation in June this year. Analysts believe that stablecoin companies that strictly adhere to existing regulations can benefit from the upcoming regulatory scrutiny and potentially gain market share.
Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino responded to JPMorgan’s report, saying he was pleased that JPMorgan had recognized the importance of Tether and the stablecoin technology created by his company. But he found it hypocritical for JPMorgan, the world’s largest bank, to talk about centralization.
Ardoino attributed the success of Tether’s USDT to its financial reliability, strong reserves, and commitment to emerging markets and developing countries.
Another stablecoin company, Circle, recently secretly filed for public listing in the US.
JPMorgan analysts interpret this move as Circle’s intention to expand internationally and prepare for upcoming stablecoin regulations.
According to analysts, stablecoins act as a link between traditional finance and the crypto world, almost like “cash” in crypto. According to analysts, their expansion means more money coming into crypto from traditional finance, more cash circulation in the crypto space and an increase in collateral and cryptocurrency It makes the financial system more stable.
