StableCoin

Blockchain is fundamentally an extension of payment scenarios. Stablecoins play a crucial role not only in the cryptocurrency market but also in global payments and cross-border settlements. The introduction of the Taproot Assets protocol suggests a vast potential for stablecoins in high-frequency, low-value payment scenarios and indicates the possibility of widespread adoption of stablecoins as a regular means of payment.

Cryptocurrency payment can not only solve these problems, but also has the advantages of lower fees, faster processing times, borderless transactions, and more efficient and inclusive financial interactions. As the first report in this series on cryptocurrency payments, this study aims to analyze the stablecoin market landscape and drivers of future growth.

This article reviews the rise and development of stablecoins in the past decade, discusses their impact on the global financial system, and analyzes changes in regulatory policies and market demands in various countries.

In this article, we delve into the "Decade of the Digital Dollar" report by the Centre for Economics and Business Research (Cebr) to explore the global development trajectory of stablecoins and their profound economic impact. By summarizing and analyzing the report, we provide a comprehensive perspective on how stablecoins are driving global financial innovation and efficiency.

M^0 is a decentralized stablecoin protocol that allows approved participants to mint M tokens using collateral approved by the protocol. Users can earn returns on their collateral while using stablecoins pegged to the US dollar. The protocol was initially launched on Ethereum and will later expand to other Layer 1 and Layer 2 networks. The core team behind M^0 includes members from projects such as MakerDAO and Circle. The M^0 solution offers greater flexibility, reduced centralization, and provides governance members with greater decision-making autonomy, opening new possibilities for project development and integration with existing products.

Usual has currently secured $7 million in seed funding, led by IOSG Ventures and Kraken Ventures. The core product of its protocol is the stablecoin USD0. Unlike traditional stablecoins, USD0 is backed 1:1 by assets with very short maturities, such as RWA assets and government bonds. This backing provides higher security and stability, and reduces the likelihood of discount liquidation in the case of asset runs.

This article delves into the potential and challenges of tokenizing financial assets on public blockchains. Although billions of dollars of real financial assets have been tokenized and deployed on public blockchains, there is still a lot of work to be done at the intersection of law and technology to re-infrastructure the financial system.

This article provides an introduction and explanation of USDX's features, a novel stablecoin project with viral potential similar to MEME coins. The project has completed its pre-launch goals and opened its DApp and leaderboard entry to users. More market updates are expected in the future.

Tether, the world's largest stablecoin issuing company, recently launched a new stablecoin, aUSDT, designed to meet growing market demand and inject new vitality into the DeFi ecosystem. aUSDT is a unique digital asset powered by Tether Gold It is over-collateralized, meaning aUSDT is backed by real physical gold stored in Switzerland. aUSDT uses an over-collateralization mechanism and smart contracts to ensure the stability of its value and the transparency of the system. It can not only use the intrinsic value of gold to provide additional stability, but also achieve automated management through Ethereum-compatible smart contracts. It is applicable for various trading and investment needs.

Stablecoins are a significant presence in the cryptocurrency market. They are essentially defined as cryptocurrencies that are pegged to fiat currencies or other assets to achieve stable value. Currently, mainstream stablecoins are mainly distinguished based on the type of collateral and the degree of centralization in their issuance. Those backed by fiat currencies are mostly issued in a centralized manner and currently dominate the market. On the other hand, those backed by crypto assets or algorithmic stablecoins are mostly issued in a decentralized manner. Each category has its leading figures, and every stablecoin design framework has its advantages and disadvantages.

This article will attempt to analyze the internal logic behind PayPal's shift towards Crypto, the launch of PYUSD on Solana, and the evolutionary strategy of PYUSD towards Mass Adoption.

USDX is an emerging synthetic dollar stablecoin protocol that adopts a multi-chain, multi-currency strategy, resulting in higher overall returns compared to various re-staking, LSD, and other yield methods or products. USDX has chosen a path where users can earn returns by holding stablecoins, with a risk curve distinct from existing market products, thereby avoiding the relatively crowded mainstream cryptocurrency yield strategies. It does not rely on traditional banking infrastructure and features censorship resistance, scalability, and high stability. Compared to current existing projects based on mainstream yet singular USD stablecoins like BTC, USDX aligns more closely with the concept of new crypto savings. It offers a savings tool based on multiple currencies that is available globally.

Ethereum, as a leading blockchain platform, has introduced various token standards to cater to different use cases. The three most prominent standards are ERC-20, ERC-721, and ERC-1155. We’ll explore the differences between these standards, their use cases, and why they are essential for the blockchain industry.

Creating a stablecoin on Solana in 2024 requires a strategic approach to navigate the complexities of blockchain development. Begin by understanding the Solana ecosystem and its unique features, such as its high-speed and low-cost transactions. Next, define the stablecoin’s objectives, whether it’s pegged to a fiat currency, commodity, or algorithmic mechanism, and choose a stablecoin model that aligns with these goals.

Lista DAO is an open-source liquidity protocol initially launched on the BNB Chain ecosystem. It empowers users to earn rewards by staking various crypto assets (such as BNB, ETH, stablecoins, and other cryptocurrencies) and enables them to borrow their decentralized stablecoin, lisUSD. The protocol extends the proven MakerDAO model to create a decentralized, fair, and collateral-backed stablecoin system. Lista DAO employs a dual-token model, where lisUSD is the stablecoin backed by collateralized assets, while LISTA can be used for governance and other purposes. It offers a comprehensive suite of features, encompassing instant conversions, asset collateralization, borrowing, and yield optimization.
