フィンテック企業Mega Matrixの資本市場担当エグゼクティブ・バイスプレジデント、コリン・バトラー氏は、ステーブルコインをめぐる規制の不透明さが、暗号資産企業よりも伝統的な銀行にとってより大きな不利な状況をもたらす可能性があると述べた。同氏は、多くの銀行がすでにデジタル資産インフラの構築に多額の資金を投じているものの、ステーブルコインが預金、証券、あるいは独立した決済手段のいずれとみなされるかが規制上明確になるまでは、取締役会やコンプライアンス部門が全面的な導入を承認することは難しいと指摘した。現在、多くの大手銀行が関連する取り組みを進めている。例えば、JPモルガン・チェースが立ち上げたブロックチェーン決済ネットワーク「Onyx」、BNYメロンによるデジタル資産カストディサービス、シティグループによるトークン化預金の試験運用などが挙げられる。しかしバトラー氏は、規制の曖昧さがこうした取り組みの規模拡大を制限していると指摘し、一方、暗号資産企業は長年にわたり規制のグレーゾーンで事業を展開してきたため、適応力が高いと述べた。さらに、ステーブルコイン・プラットフォームと銀行預金との間の利回り格差も、資金の流出を促す可能性がある。バトラー氏によると、多くの取引プラットフォームはステーブルコインの残高に対して約4～5％の利回りを提供しているのに対し、米国の平均的な普通預金口座の利回りは0.5％未満であり、より高い利回りが提示されると資金は急速に流出しがちだという。バトラー氏はさらに、規制当局がステーブルコインの利回りを制限した場合、資金がUSDeのようなデリバティブ戦略を通じて収益を生み出す合成米ドルトークンなど、規制の緩い構造へと向かい、その結果、透明性の低いオフショア市場へ資本が流出する可能性があると警告した。一方、Sygnumの最高投資責任者（CIO）であるファビアン・ドリ氏は、銀行と暗号資産プラットフォームとの競争格差は拡大しているものの、短期的には大規模な預金流出の可能性は依然として限定的だと考えている。ただし、ステーブルコインが収益を生み出すデジタルキャッシュと見なされるようになれば、銀行預金はより顕著な競争圧力に直面することになると指摘した。（Cointelegraph）

Regulatory uncertainty surrounding stablecoins may place traditional banks at a disadvantage compared to crypto companies, according to Colin Butler, executive vice president of capital markets at Mega Matrix. According to Cointelegraph, Butler highlighted that financial institutions have heavily invested in digital asset infrastructure but are unable to fully utilize it due to ongoing debates among lawmakers about the classification of stablecoins. He noted that legal advisors are cautioning boards against capital expenditure until there is clarity on whether stablecoins will be treated as deposits, securities, or a distinct payment instrument. Several major banks have already developed infrastructure to support stablecoins. For instance, JPMorgan has created its Onyx blockchain payments network, BNY Mellon has launched digital asset custody services, and Citigroup has tested tokenized deposits. Butler argued that while the infrastructure investment is significant, regulatory ambiguity limits the scalability of these investments, as risk and compliance departments are hesitant to approve full deployment without knowing the product's classification. In contrast, crypto firms, accustomed to operating in regulatory gray areas, may continue to do so, whereas banks cannot comfortably operate under such conditions. Another issue is the widening yield gap between stablecoin platforms and traditional bank accounts. Butler pointed out that exchanges often offer returns of 4% to 5% on stablecoin balances, while the average U.S. savings account yields less than 0.5%. He referenced historical trends, such as the shift to money market funds in the 1970s, to illustrate how quickly depositors move when higher yields are available. Today, the process could be even faster, as transferring funds from bank accounts to stablecoins takes only minutes, and the yield gap is larger. Fabian Dori, chief investment officer at Sygnum, acknowledged the competitive gap between banks and crypto platforms but noted it is not yet critical. He suggested that large-scale deposit flight is unlikely in the immediate term, as institutions still prioritize trust, regulation, and operational resilience. Butler also warned that attempts to restrict stablecoin yields could inadvertently drive activity into less regulated areas. Under current U.S. law, stablecoin issuers are prohibited from paying yield directly to holders, but exchanges can still offer returns through lending programs, staking, or promotional rewards. If lawmakers impose broader restrictions, capital could shift to alternative structures like synthetic dollar tokens, which generate yield through derivatives markets rather than traditional reserves. These mechanisms can offer returns even if regulated stablecoins cannot. Butler cautioned that if this trend accelerates, regulators could face unintended consequences, with more capital flowing into opaque offshore structures with fewer consumer protections. "Capital doesn’t stop seeking returns," he stated.

Iran has issued a warning that oil prices could reach $200 per barrel following its week-long blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which has significantly reduced transit through the crucial route to just 5%. According to NS3.AI, this disruption has caused oil prices to spike from $67 to $120 within three days, before settling at $95 on Thursday. The impact has been particularly severe on Asian markets, as several countries in the region rely heavily on the Strait of Hormuz for their oil deliveries. The ongoing situation poses a potential threat to consumer spending, business revenues, employment, and the broader equity markets, as a prolonged shock could have widespread economic repercussions.

BitMine Chairman Tom Lee expressed optimism about the performance of tech stocks during an interview with CNBC on March 15. According to BlockBeats, Lee noted that technology stocks, including software shares, have been performing well, which he finds reasonable. He added that the rise in oil prices could be beneficial for the U.S. stock market, as the country is a net oil producer. Concerns about oil price increases potentially hindering global economic growth may lead investors to favor growth stocks, prompting them to invest in the U.S. market, which is considered a 'growth index,' particularly in sectors like MAG-7 and software. Lee believes the current market performance is logical and suggests that the stock market may be forming a bottom this month. Lee also addressed issues in private credit, stating that these problems have existed for some time and are now becoming more apparent. However, he does not view the situation as systemic, contrary to market fears. He emphasized that while some may draw parallels to the Lehman Brothers collapse and the global financial crisis, there are significant differences this time. The market size is not as large as it was then, and the current credit pressure signals are not as severe as those seen in 2008. Lee believes that while private credit issues are affecting the financial sector, they are unlikely to pose a systemic threat to the broader market or economy.
