Stablecoins: The Silent Game-Changer for Everyday Transactions

Stability and reliability of financial instruments are important, yet very hard to come by in the cryptosphere. Nonetheless, as a CFO of an upcoming crypto exchange project, Nordom, I have to look for the best options we’ve got, and undoubtedly that would be stablecoins. The perfect bridge between fiat and cryptocurrencies, stablecoins are able to swerve around the volatility that crypto otherwise offers. How exactly does it work? I’ll let you in on that in this blog.

Stability That Makes Sense 

Planning financial operations in a volatile market is like trying to build a house before the cement’s all dried up - not the most sensible idea. Well, stablecoins in this case serve as a sort of safety net, offering the needed predictability for forecasting. And that’s not to mention that on top of more financial stability from the fiat currency side, they have the benefit of avoiding the more traditional, slower, bank-enabled transactions. This also means improved liquidity and faster settlement times for crypto exchange, further enhancing user satisfaction and trust. It’s this reliability that convinces me, Giga Zukhubaia, as a CFO that stablecoins hold a significant advantage and will evolve from niche financial instruments to mainstream essentials soon enough.

International Access and Inclusion 

Another important aspect to consider is financial inclusivity. Due to their connection to crypto, stablecoins are able to offer transactions to those regions that have a limited traditional banking system. This means that for such regions, stablecoins aren’t simply a matter of convenience, but rather a major financial lifeline connecting them to the financial world otherwise out of reach.

As a prominent example, we could look at Venezuela - a country with a seriously shaken economy and continuous inflation. That is why stablecoins have gained much traction among its citizens and have been growing in popularity since. USDC, in particular, serves as a reliable means for residents to preserve their savings and still engage in commerce after severe economic downturns. Overall, it’s a prominent example of how crypto can benefit the general public, not just a specific group of enthusiasts, and change public perception. 

Looking Ahead

With the adoption of blockchain technology becoming more widespread across countries and industries alike, the role of stablecoins will just keep on expanding further. Whether for everyday transactions or the broader financial ecosystem, stablecoins offer a promising groundwork for increasing integration and playing a crucial role in our daily lives.
