☠️ The head of CryptoQuant believes that in an environment of increasing financial censorship, "dark" stablecoins may emerge — resistant to freezes and operating without a central issuer.
Such solutions are already appearing in the form of algorithmic or anonymous projects, often built on technologies like Monero and Zcash.
Some major darknet marketplaces are also launching their own tokens — for example, Huione Guarantee introduced USDH, a stablecoin designed to bypass regulatory oversight and asset freezes. This move followed the freezing of their USDT accounts due to alleged ties with the Lazarus hacking group.
