The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) released a model showing that rising US deposit rates are reducing the attractiveness of USDC, a major stablecoin, by offering higher returns in traditional finance. This makes USDC less appealing to both retail and institutional investors, who may prefer bank deposits or other yield-bearing assets over a zero-yield stablecoin. Additionally, exchange rewards from competing crypto platforms add further pressure on USDC adoption. The BIS warns that without changes in the interest rate environment or innovations in USDC's offerings, its growth is likely to remain sluggish despite its critical role in decentralized finance and crypto markets.
The BIS model on US deposit rates and USDC growth potential provides context for the broader crypto market.
