The stablecoins are on the point of the consumer adoption this year while the Trump administration is going forward with the legacy legislation of Landmark, the investment bank Deutsche Bank said on Monday in a research report.
Despite some resistance to the Senate last week, the bank said it was still planning to see progress on the StableCoin regulation front this year.
Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies whose value is linked to another asset, such as US dollar or gold. They play a major role in the cryptocurrency markets and are also used to transfer money internationally.
The law on the orientation and establishment of national innovation of the Senate for the Stablescoins (Engineering) law obliges federal regulations for stablescoins with a market capitalization of more than $ 10 billion with the potential for state regulation if it aligns the federal rules. The stable act of the House of Representatives provides for state regulations without any condition.
Stablecoin’s market capitalization has exploded in the past five years. The total Stablecoin market capitalization is currently $ 246 billion, a massive leap compared to the $ 20 billion observed in 2020, noted the German bank. The largest USDT of Tether has a market capitalization of around $ 150 billion.
Stablecoins “will now feed two -thirds of the crypto trading, offering unmatched low -speed programmable payments, 24/7 access,” analysts Marion Laboure and Camilla Siazon wrote.
Stablecoins are becoming more and more strategic assets, according to the report. “With 83% arrival at the US dollar and in the ranking of attachments among the greatest holders of US treasury bills, they strengthen the domination of the dollar in a fragmenting world.”
The Engineering Act is expected to be adopted in the United States in the coming months, which could trigger a leap of almost 10 times in the Stablecoin offer, said last month in a research report.
