Stablecoins in Review
There's been a lot of stories surrounding stablecoins of late, mostly because of what crypto investors went through in the face of UST depeg events. The industry has grown fearful for the so-called stablecoins as crypto volatility proves to be a lot for them to handle.
While a great deal of the said fear and distrust has been for algorithm stablecoins, which are designed to track the price value of specific crypto assets, thereby holding its peg with a print and burn mechanism, the stablecoin market at large has got a lot of people speaking.
While many people raised concerns, there's a lot to consider when looking at the crash event of Luna. However, as crypto would prove to be itself, the system has not been sleeping on these stumbling blocks, as they only pose for a better building and development process; at every flaw or weakness leaked, crypto builds and evolves.
On recent reports Tether launched a stablecoin pegged to pesos on Ethereum, Tron and Polygon. A large portion of the crypto ecosystem may be focused on the dollar price value of cryptocurrencies, but when merging the whole world, you see the importance of developing a wider fiat focus track record.
Staying Competitive
I would call all Tether endeavours smart moves, it really doesn't matter whether or not the system holds a 100% fiat backed reserve, people tend to worry a lot about this and forget that fiat itself is backed by nothing more than human trust. Value is created when a market earns participants that believe in it, and so trades the long term.
Many people have talked about a possible Tether crash, and I'd say that it's pretty unlikely, just as it is unlikely for the dollar to be replaced any time soon. The system is used to this base currency, judging from its market coverage and great spread in investment grounds, the chances of having it experience a crash is slim.
Tether has diverse accounts of stablecoins including euro-pegged EURT, Chinese yuan-pegged CNHT, dollar pegged USDT and now, pesos pegged stablecoin with the ticker MXNT.
How Tether Is Buying The Industry
Many investment experts may be used to the dollar, but when looking at a retail ground level, we realise different choices in base currency. The interest therefore varies across nations, the idea of having these different accounts is to buy and retain as many investors as possible. The one way to stay competitive and control a larger section of the Crypto markets is to offer the products that buy the public attention. With the timely expansion of its stablecoin account, Tether is in it to stay a while longer, considering the not so soon extinction of fiat currencies.
