Would you have thought it possible to peg a cryptocurrency to a fiat currency? Well, that was a pipe dream in the early days of coins but not anymore since coins such as USDT are pegged on the US dollar. Such coins have earned the name ‘stablecoins’ and their presence in the crypto-economy is considered crucial for the survival of cryptocurrencies.

Unleashing Of The ‘Stablecoin’ Ideology In 2012

There has been a lot of mixed reviews regarding coins such as tether (USDT) but their presence isn’t something to be ignored. The idea of a fiat-pegged cryptocurrency was heavily covered in JR Willet’s 2nd Bitcoin whitepaper and the build-up about them has grown over the years.

It’s worth noting that some of the coins have flopped badly in their effort to peg on fiat currencies. For example, the coin nubits (USNBT) was designed to remain at the value of a dollar but it went before that and hasn’t managed to retain the 1:1 ratio.

Does Tether Reign Supreme Among The ‘Stablecoins’?

Since its launch in 2014, tether has been on a steady growth path. The idea of such coins is to use the Omni Protocol Network to embed metadata on the BTC chain. Apparently for every USDT issued, it’s backed by the US dollar.

The price of tether has been relatively stable as per reports on Coinmarketcap. More so the coin has been a darling to many investors especially during a bear market. One thing that stands out when it comes to USDT is that it features in mainstream exchanges such as Binance, Bitfinex, Poloinex, Bittrex among others.

Are There Popular ‘Stablecoins’ Other Than Tether?

Yes. Other stablecoins include tokens such as dai token which has been quite consistent as well. The token is run by the Maker Dai protocol which is built on the Ethereum platform. The idea is to use blockchain assets as collateral. These tokens are common on decentralized exchanges such as Ethfinex and Radar.

There are more stablecoins under development and a lot is expected from that part of the crypto space. It seems that people want to have faith that a cryptocurrency can be pegged to a fiat currency. Question is; will that truly be the case?

Notes on Blockchain Governance

In which I argue that “tightly coupled” on-chain voting is overrated, the status quo of “informal governance” as practiced by Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Zcash and similar systems is much less bad than commonly thought, that people who think that the purpose of blockchains is to completely expunge soft mushy human intuitions and feelings in favor of completely algorithmic governance (emphasis on “completely”) are absolutely crazy, and loosely coupled voting as done by Carbonvotes and similar systems is underrated, as well as describe what framework should be used when thinking about blockchain governance in the first place.

The United States May Soon Crackdown Privacy-Centric Cryptos and Coin Mixers

Generally speaking, blockchain-based cryptocurrencies offer users a certain level of anonymity while or receiving payments. However, transactions carried out with some coins such as bitcoin are entirely traceable while those done with altcoins like Monero, zcash and many others are almost impossible to trace, making such altcoins a viable tool for criminals.
