What’s new? Brad Garlinghouse, the head of the fintech company Ripple, believes that regulatory clarity for stablecoins in the United States will come in 2024. He said, “the stablecoin market has really surprised people in some ways in terms of solving a real need, and I think it only makes sense for there to be regulatory clarity around that I think that’s good for the whole industry.”
What else is known? Garlinghouse says that stablecoins like USDT and USDC will remain, and if they have “skeletons in their closet,” they will come to light once clear rules for the industry are established. In addition, he expects to see new entrants in this market.
