Stablecoin - the future of crypto?
Binance earlier launched two stablecoins - one pegged to Bitcoin and another pegged to British pound - both on Binance Chain. In November, it also listed USDC, the USD-backed cryptocurrency launched by Circle and Coinbase.
As Biance also hopes to financially include developing nations by introducing the currencies, it is quite evident that the project comes in response to Facebook’s ambitious digital currency Libra.
Earlier this month, Finance Magnates reported that retail giant Walmart is also planning to enter the same market and has applied for a patent of a Libra-like stablecoin
