USDT Stablecoin To Face Hurdles After New Regulation?

S&P Global Ratings recently highlighted the potential for increased participation of traditional banks in the stablecoin market due to enhanced regulatory clarity in the United States. This clarity, according to their report, may also lead to a reduction in the dominance of Tether’s USDT.

Last week, Senators Cynthia Lummis and Kirsten Gillibrand introduced a stablecoin bill. This bill at establishing clear operational guidelines for stablecoins within the country’s regulatory framework.

While the U.S. dollar remains the preferred peg for stablecoins, many issuers currently operate without being subject to specific U.S. regulations. However, the introduction of the Lummis-Gillibrand Payment Stablecoin Act could bring about significant changes in this regard.

The proposed regulations could potentially provide banks with a competitive edge by imposing limitations on non-banking institutions. It would restrict their maximum issuance to $10 billion.

If the stablecoin bill receives approval, it is anticipated to accelerate institutional blockchain innovation. The impact would particularly be seen in areas such as tokenization and digital bond issuance involving on-chain payments. This, in turn, would create new avenues for banks as stablecoin issuers and potentially diminish Tether’s dominance within the global stablecoin market.

Currently, Tether’s USDT holds a substantial market capitalization of $110 billion, securing its position as the third-largest cryptocurrency. Meanwhile, Circle’s USDC trails behind with $34 billion, both maintaining a 1:1 peg to the U.S. dollar.
