The official X account of Ripple cryptocurrency giant has published a short video that is part of the “Crypto In One Minute” series. The company’s president Monica Long took part in it, explaining to the crypto community what stablecoins are.While talking about stablecoins, the Ripple president described them as tokens on a blockchain that represent some kind of real-world currency, and there is a one-to-one peg between a stablecoin and the currency that backs it.
When Ripple is granted final permission from regulators, it will launch its stablecoin not only on XRP Ledger and Ethereum but also on other blockchains. The most popular stablecoins on the market at the moment are Tether’s USDT and Circle’s USDC, both backed by U.S. dollars. Tether also has U.S. Treasuries to back its stablecoin. However, last year, in March, USDC experienced a brief depeg from the dollar when three major U.S. banks — Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank and Silvergate Bank — collapsed as a result of a banking crisis that occurred last year.
Many saw their distrust increase after in May 2022, the algorithmic UST stablecoin created by the Terra blockchain crashed, losing its $1 peg and causing a significant drawdown of the crypto market and the Bitcoin price.Yuri is interested in technology and technical innovations. He has been writing about DLT and crypto since 2017. Believes that blockchain and cryptocurrencies have a potential to transform the world in the future in many of its aspects.
