The allure of Tether’s USDT compared to other stablecoins is likely to diminish as forthcoming US regulations demand greater transparency and adherence to new KYC\/AML<\/span> standards, according to JPMorgan. This was reported by CoinDesk<\/a>, citing an analyst report. <\/p>\n

Although Tether operates outside the United States, regulators can exert “some control” over the offshore use of the issuer’s “stablecoins” through the OFAC<\/span>, the document states.<\/p>\n

The US Congress is currently reviewing the Stablecoin Transparency Act, while partial implementation of MiCA is expected in the EU in June.<\/p>\n

“While direct legal actions against offshore companies and decentralized firms are challenging, indirect measures and international cooperation could potentially hinder the use of Tether,” the analysts wrote.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

JPMorgan believes that stablecoin regulations will be coordinated globally through the Financial Stability Board within the G20 framework. This situation will further limit the capabilities of unregulated “stablecoins” like USDT. <\/p>\n

Tether periodically reports on the reserve backing of its assets, but analysts believe the level of disclosure is insufficient to “dispel concerns.” <\/p>\n

Previously, JPMorgan pointed out<\/a> the growing dominance of USDT as a negative factor for the stablecoin market and the crypto ecosystem as a whole. <\/p>\n

In the fourth quarter of 2023, Tether achieved a record net profit of $2.9 billion<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since December 1, the issuer has been freezing wallets linked to the SDN<\/a> list of the US Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control. The company also highlighted its assistance to agencies such as the Department of Justice, the Secret Service, and the FBI.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Tether expressed disappointment<\/a> with the UN’s assessment of USDT’s use in illegal activities<\/a> and the disregard of the asset’s role in developing economies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
