Title: Stablecoins under scrutiny: USDT stands by ‘commercial paper’ tether
Post by: Fawpac2 on July 02, 2021, 11:46:35 PM
The stablecoin market has been growing exponentially, and last week, Eric Rosengren — president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston — appeared to raise a cautionary flag.
“There are many reasons to think that stablecoins — at least, many of the stablecoins — are not actually particularly stable,” he said in remarks before the Official Monetary and Financial Institutions Forum, voicing concerns that “a future [financial] crisis could easily be triggered as these become a more important sector of the financial market, unless we start regulating them.” Moreover, in an accompanying slide presentation, the bank CEO referenced Tether (USDT), the dominant stablecoin issuer, noting that its basket of reserve assets looks very much like a “very risky prime fund” — the sort that got into trouble in the last two recessions. Was Rosengren right to call out Tether by name for its reserve assets, which include commercial paper, corporate bonds, secured loans and precious metals? Could the parabolic growth of stablecoins truly destabilize short-term credit markets, and would the stablecoin sector be better served by more rigorous reserving and auditing.Source (https://cryptonews.net/944059/?utm_source=CryptoNews&utm_medium=app&utm_campaign=shared)

Like any emerging asset class, cryptocurrencies are highly susceptible to market forces. Accordingly, many crypto projects are actively exploring ways to reduce volatility and expand participation in a broad crypto ecosystem. Current solutions go far beyond the usual market buy, sell and stop orders. Instead, price stability is built directly into the assets themselves. During the training on http://blog.bhero.com I found out that as a result, a completely new subset of the cryptocurrency market, known as stablecoins, appeared. These tokens should function as their name implies – stably.
Yes, it is in them that it is desirable to keep part of your funds
