JPMorgan Report Highlights Concerns Over Tether’s Influence on Crypto Markets

For various regulatory bodies around the world, including the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the United States, stablecoins – digital currencies that are designed to stay at a steady value because of pegging to traditional assets, such as the US dollar, have begun to come under greater scrutiny. 

Heightened Stakes a Referent, the JPMorgan analysts point out that Tether encounters increased perils because of its alleged deficiency in transparency compliance with the regulations. There are concerns, thus, but, what is worth noting for other stablecoin issuers that proactively focused on existing regulatory frameworks, is identified by the report as a silver lining. 

Among those poised to potentially benefit from any regulatory tightening is USD Coin (USDC), a stablecoin issuer preparing for a public offering in the United States. USDC analysts show that USDC’s future stabilization growth plans and its preparedness for predictable laws about stablecoins are signs it will gain a larger market share. Tether has not only seen a huge surge in its market capitalization to nearly $100 billion but, more importantly, continued its doors in both centralized cryptocurrency exchange and the flourishing rise of decentralized finance (DeFi).

This growth trajectory, buoyed by the recent $2.85 billion profit disclosure for the last quarter, has been further aided by the challenges faced by its competitors, such as USDC and Binance’s BUSD.

Tether highlights how the cryptocurrency market is more dynamic and can be turbulent than many people understand or would like to believe and how the actions of significant players such as Tether can have extremely broad implications for the structures of the industry and the trust of its participants.
