This Crypto Twist Will Have the IRS Sweating: The Rise of ‘Dark Stablecoins’ Explained!

BBG News
  • According to the CryptoQuant boss, reckon ‘dark stablecoins’ might be just what we order up in the diner when government starts sniffin’ around our digital dollars. 🍔💰
  • The townsfolk (that is, crypto folks) split right down the plank: some rootin’ for this “dark” business, others hollerin’ that Bitcoin is already the wild stallion we need. 🐴

Now, this fella Ki Young Ju over at CryptoQuant peered into his crystal ball and spotted the shadowy outlines of so-called ‘dark stablecoins’, dodging censorship like a raccoon under a moonlit porch.

Young Ju’s notion is simple: the more the government tries to hitch its wagon to stablecoins like Circle’s USDC and Tether’s USDT, the quicker these ‘dark stablecoins’ will gallop onto the scene—probably with a few shifty-eyed outlaws in tow. 

Bitcoin vs. stablecoins: The Showdown at High Noonday

In the beginning, the brave folks buying Bitcoin [BTC] did so because it shrugged off censorship like water off a duck’s back—and proud of it too. 

The problem now? These fancy, smooth-talking stablecoins have to mind their manners and play nice with government regulators. That’s a recipe for survival about as effective as a screen door on a submarine. 

Young Ju figures ‘dark stablecoins’ will be as slippery as an eel—maybe whipped up by some clever code or cooked up by countries not too big on rules.

Tether’s USDT itself could turn outlaw if, say, Tether just strolls out of the saloon, tips its hat, and tells the U.S. government it ain’t sticking around for dinner. 

“USDT was once seen as a freedom-lovin’ stablecoin. If Tether tells Uncle Sam to take a hike (especially if Trump’s back in the saddle), USDT might just turn into the Bonnie Parker of stablecoins—wanted in every jurisdiction.” 😎🤠

Now, since the U.S. can’t resist a good ol’ control-fest, Congress rolled out bills like the Senate GENIUS Act (no one’s accusing Congress of humility) calling for a tighter grip on digital dollar pawnbrokers, all in the name of “security.” 

This means anyone on the government’s naughty list might see their access to those shiny new dollars vanish faster than a politician’s promise after election day.

Young Ju’s bulletins got the peanut gallery talking. Some cheered him on, one even sayin’ legacy stablecoins were “a chokepoint for BTC”—meaning this game of regulatory whack-a-mole isn’t over yet. 

“Stablecoins? Just another chokehold on Bitcoin—same as any middleman. Over in Europe, folks can hardly saddle up and buy Bitcoin ’cause of all the stablecoin red tape. The U.S.? They’re gearing up, too! All I’m saying: let the ‘dark stablecoins’ ride.”

Other voices hollered back, swearing Bitcoin alone could fend off the IRS, the Treasury, and probably Aunt Marge, too—so who needs more shadowy coins crowding the saloon?

Just for the record, stablecoins are fancy digital bucks pegged to good ol’ US dollars, euros, or even gold—gold being what your great-grandpappy probably buried out back during the last panic. 

May 25th’s tally showed U.S. dollar-pegged coins still riding high in the saddle. Tether’s USDT and Circle’s USDC alone lassoed over 90% of the herd. So, out of $242 billion in total, Tether’s holding $149.9 billion and Circle’s got $60 billion, which is more market dominance than a riverboat gambler with four aces up his sleeve.
