Financial Institutions Start Using Stablecoins In 2020: Report

The word “stablecoin” is still a mystery for many people. For others, it is something that immediately links them to Tether (USDT) or Facebook’s Libra project which is scheduled for 2020. However, there are many versions of stablecoins nowadays and as reports show, financial institutions start using them more and more.

For those of you who don’t follow our altcoin news section, a stablecoin’s main aim is to solve the problem of volatility by being a digital asset that is tied to another asset with a stable value.

The new year is turning out to be an exciting time for stablecoins. Aside from the fact that financial institutions start using them, the Libra news already showed excitement in many people. Likewise, government financial institutions are now playing out, stating that they will be either researching or discussing a stablecoin as a potential solution. International entities such as the G-7 Working Group in partnership with the International Monetary Fund and the Bank for International Settlements have also released a report investigating the impact of stablecoins.

Furthermore, banks and financial institutions start using them – Banco Bradesco, Bank of Buscan and Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation are proof for that. Also, there are many stories in the latest cryptocurrencies news showing that the future of stablecoins is shaping up well.

Right now, the stablecoins are a very interesting topic in the news. According to Biser Dimitrov who is the co-founder of BlockEX digital asset platform, they “just make sense for any type of financial services company.” As he also added:

“For example, in a retail or investment bank, a stablecoin can facilitate faster intra-day settlements, full transparency. More to that, a bank can offer better and faster services on top of a blockchain network with a stablecoin and enable things like loyalty points conversions, faster mortgages and generally efficient loan origination process.”

As financial institutions start using stablecoins more and more, we can expect many big things in the future. As much as the issue of regulation can be a problem for them, experts believe that most of the issued stablecoins will get a more relaxed regulation in the future – and the majority of them will be used for internal purposes.
