Censorship-resistant “dark stablecoins” could come in increasing demand as governments tighten their oversight of the industry.
Stablecoins have been used for various groups to store assets due to a lack of government interference; however, with regulations pending, that could soon change, Ki Young Ju, CEO of crypto analytics firm CryptoQuant, said in a May 11 X post.
