Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general have brought a huge disruption in the global financial industry, with individuals now having enormous control over their finances. But the price volatility and unpredictability in the value of the crypto market has also brought unexpected challenges among crypto holders.
The arrival of stable coins has been a big relief among crypto holders who have been looking for a way to store their crypto without it losing value. Stable coins allow us to lock the value of our cryptos, by pegging them to the US Dollar.
Apart from preventing your crypto assets losing value, many Nigerians now save their money in stable coin. Due to persistent inflation and bad government policies, the Naira has depreciated consistently against the Dollar in the last couple of years. Stable coins presented a perfect opportunity for citizens to exchange their Naira to USD stable coins.
We have some popular stable coins such as USDC, USDT, Binance USD, True USD, DAI, etc.
Tether USDT is the most popular stable coin worldwide; having the largest market cap and trading volume.
