Stablecoins: The Big Whale's major investigation

No items found.

Thursday, May 5, 2022

Little known just a few years ago, stablecoins have become a must-have.

These cryptocurrencies indexed to stable assets (like currencies) are used by millions of investors and play a central role in decentralised finance applications (DeFi), where some offer particularly tempting returns (sometimes up to 20% a year). Even institutional investors are snapping them up, as they represent the ideal bridge between traditional finance and the crypto universe.

As a sign of the trend, the capitalisation of stablecoins has risen by 548% since the start of 2021 to reach a global value of $188 billion, or 10% of the global crypto market. There is a huge variety of them, each distinguished by the stability of its price relative to the traditional currency it replicates, the nature of the reserve, the degree of decentralisation of the system or its compliance.

In this report, you will discover a complete overview of the sector, not forgetting the euro stablecoins that are starting to make inroads despite lagging behind their US equivalents, which are crushing the market.

STABLECOINS CENTRALIZED‍

This type of stablecoin is administered by a company. The way it works is very simple to understand: the company issues tokens whose value is equal to the amount it holds in a reserve. Most of the time, a stablecoin is backed by cash placed in a bank account to guarantee its value.
