Kaiko報告：陷入困境的Silvergate或會提升穩定幣在加密交易中的作用:3月7日消息，市場研究公司Kaiko在周一發布的一份報告中表示，陷入困境的Silvergate Capital決定關閉其在大投資者中很受歡迎的即時結算服務SEN，這將提高穩定幣及其發行商在加密交易中的作用。Kaiko的報告稱:“隨著SEN的消亡，穩定幣可能會在交易員中變得更加普遍。”Kaiko預測，交易員將不再使用銀行渠道將美元存入加密貨幣交易所，而是將資金轉移到穩定幣發行方以獲得穩定幣，然后將穩定幣存入交易所。報告補充道：“但問題是，穩定幣發行人仍然需要訪問加密貨幣銀行，因此現在風險進一步集中。”

Kaiko還在報告中表示，隨著穩定幣市值的增長，全球法定貨幣與加密貨幣之間的交易對的數量有所下降。數據顯示，去年交易所新增的美元交易對數量從2021年的400個降至326個。報告稱：“自FTX崩潰以來，相對于USDT、USDC和歐元交易對，美元的市場份額持續下降。”例如，USDT在比特幣交易量中的主導地位最近達到了93%的歷史新高，比2017年的3%有了顯著的增長。報告稱，目前，美元和與美元掛鉤的穩定幣仍然是加密經濟的基礎，但美元支付渠道日益復雜化可能會翻轉這一趨勢。（Coindesk）[2023/3/7 12:46:28]
