Topic

Are Stable Coins the Key to Crypto Market Maturity?

Abstract

Crypto is at a crossroads. There's widespread interest and applicability, but the volatility of many cryptocurrencies gives pause to potential investors. To facilitate mainstream adoption, including by even traditional financial institutions, a stable coin that can be trusted to hold its value is key, but some of the most popular options right now fall short. I will be discussing the importance of stable coins to moving this industry forward, as well as our own take on a solution to the stable coin problem, TrueUSD.
