Who Is Winning The Stablecoin Race?

Geplaatst op oktober 22, 2018 door Blockchain News

Before discussing specific stablecoin names, it is important to understand the three types of stablecoins that currently exist: centralized IOU stablecoins, crypto-collateralized stablecoins, and non-collateralized stablecoins.

Centralized IOU stablecoins are backed with fiat money or precious metals, such as the U.S. Dollar or other sovereign currencies. Centralized IOU stablecoins have value because it is a representation of another asset.

Crypto-collateralized stablecoins are collateralized with digital assets on-chain. In other words, this type of stable coin is collateralized with other cryptoassets, such as Ethereum or another token.

Lastly, non-collateralized stablecoins are a type of stablecoin that are uncollateralized and feature an algorithmic mechanism to achieve price stability. Seniorage shares is a concept invented in 2014 that uses a smart contract to imitate a central bank, where the monetary policy has only one duty – to issue a currency that is valued at $1.
