US Edition‘Dark stablecoins’ could emerge as regulations tighten
- Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, reported on May 11, 2025, that dark stablecoins could emerge as regulations tighten globally.
- This development follows increasing government rules like the EU's MiCA and the US GENIUS Act that enforce KYC/AML and create choke points.
- Dark stablecoins are expected to operate without embedded taxation or monitoring features, aiming to maintain a level of censorship resistance akin to Bitcoin's foundational principles.
- The stablecoin market cap crossed $230 billion in April 2025, growing 54% since last year, with USDT and USDC dominating 90% of the market.
- If regulatory pressure continues, users relying on stablecoins for large transfers might increasingly seek censorship-resistant dark stablecoins that evade government controls.
