Also the banks see that USDT not so trusted*
So they like stable coins but regulated ones*

But no info about air drop?
Are the stellar holders getting free coins or What's the deal?

This is just tokenization of a stable coin not an airdrop, it is not even an hard fork, which means you should not expect any free money in such. What will only happen is that the stable coin will be build on stallar blockchain. Which means that the stable coin will make use of stellar blockchain ledger for storing, making transactions and address generation.

Lol then its pointless project!!
I Thought its hard fork or air drop they can use it themselfes this then nobody dont want if no ways of making profit out of it

After the emergence of USDT, many started to issue stable coins. For example, a project that is currently famous, namely Digital Yuan from China. If this project is a success, I think other banks will copy to quickly make their coins stable and trade on the crypto market. For information about airdrops with stable coins from stellar, I am not there yet.

States will independently create their own national stablecoins of the central banks or ask for the help of relevant specialists from other countries.  At the same time, it makes no sense for them to apply a system of borrowing funds, such as ICO, IEO and others.  This will be purely the work of the relevant government bodies of governments.  Therefore, there will be no forks or free coins.  Governments can only give out stablecoins when testing their stablecoins for free so that citizens can connect to testing, as was the case recently in China.

And who trusts banks? This is comedy gold but it is also crypto's future sadly.

USDt or stable currencies issued by banks, both are the same thing in different colors. Brown shit vs Black shit.

Regular regulation and audit of coins are definitely one reason banks are into those kinds of coins. No matter what you do, the actions of the developers and the owners are monitored and controlled. Compared to USDT in which has a scandal about it not being backed 1:1 with USD. So it's going to be the other stable that's very regulated. They probably want assurance with that and become stable with it. Maybe banks also want to have a piece of the pie for crypto but only trust those regulated. We will never know the intention unless they are already there and broadcasted.

I don't think that the stellar holders will get airdrop from there. The stellar holders will get nothing from the and the bank will be issuing their stable coin based on the 1 by 1 ration with the fiat money that used to backed the stable coin. You should not expect to get free money from there.
The bank will never give you free money dude. Will more money to to the crypto? we will see that.

However, banks are not switching to stable coins in the understanding of the crypto community banks are simply using existing technologies to improve the quality, speed and number of transactions without the need for continuous scaling of existing services.
Banks don't "make cryptocurrency" - banks just take what works from technology. Two different things that you quite often confuse, if you look closely.

They will probably make some stablecoins that is based on government or a big company and at that point they will be capable of going into crypto a lot easier as well. Think of USDT being backed by the USA government, there would be a lot more trust to it wouldn't it?

Even though we hate the fiat version of USD because it is backed by the government, we could let them control a stablecoin because that is not a must and optional thing and they could ruin it or print as much of it as they want, and in the end as long as people want to use it, they can, and if they do not want to use it they can ignore it. I do not use USDT for example that much, it is an option for me, USD is not like that, people have to use it in USA because that is the only option available in the fiat world.

I wanted to say it's a bullshit but do you know that whatever has added advantage also has disadvantages. Now suppose this stable coins that are regulated by central Banks are been minted on blockchain network ( if they plan on using one for transparency ), it will heavily expose lot's of government secrets and how large amount of money accrued to project by government 0f a certain country.
Let's imagine, a money disbursed to state governments by the federal reserve to complete a project and then due to corruption, they siphon the money into another thing, investigating such move will be easier, this is why I think government will not allow banks to roll out stble usd.  ;D

They're more secure with the regulated stable coins because they are with the government. You can't expect decentralization coming from a bank unless they launch a service that's ok with decentralization but it's like a trading desk.
Not solely as a savings option for their customers who would like to expand into cryptocurrencies with assurance of safety from a bank.

The bank ain't santa claus so I guess they're not gonna give any airdrop. This is just a bank trying to test whether stablecoin is viable option or not by instead of building their own blockchain they instead uses the already existing ones which is stellar sort of USDT and if it's viable then I guess they gonna proceed with seriously investing into creating stablecoin but that's just my 2 cents.

The funny thing is that the" security guarantees " from the Bank are often associated with the fact that these same guarantees are provided by the state rather than by the Bank's good will.
And here we come to a very good question, which is better: legislative security or anonymity and the ability to hide from laws and govs.
I see it so that in the future, as a result, everyone will be happy to switch to the first option because they will get tired of playing these crypto games. Yes, there will be enthusiasts who will continue to use the same BTC and others, but it seems to me that this will be the sunset of history, but not a new monetary Renaissance.

When we read news like these, it seems that they are decisions made recently but it is not. BVDH has been focused on digital assets for a couple of years and chose the Stellar network to create its own e-currency that will work in the following way:


IMO is positive news for crypto and it seeks to improve banking services in that country. Digital technology is coming to make life more efficient.

did they say they are going to airdrop ? if yes then check thier schedule but if they didnt said any then dont expect anymore . there are new created coins with airdrops and bounty on them to promote thier coin but not all newly created coins conducts this . 

free coin distributions for specific coin hodlers do also occur when there is a forking of a coin on that current coin you hodl but again they will announce it first if ever there are  .

Banks are under fear of value that cryptocurrencies provide. They just don't want to left behind and that's why they want to be cool by creating stable coins on top of existing blockchains. That is my opinion!

BVDH are making tokenization; they will not issue/create any real coin. It's normal not to use USDT... they want euro paired token.

And how can you expect 'free coins' or airdrop from a real-world bank? To write in the annual report - we decided to be a modern Robin Hood - to take from you and gives to the poor :D

I guess we would see something only the banks could do at this moments, good start though, but I don't want for them the idea of airdropping coins, it is better to use it for bounty or something else that would extend it's adoption. I bet they would do well if they manage to get their existing consumers to use the coin.

We will never know what's with the future in terms of this matter. But it's just the stable coins that would be in their hands but talking about decentralization and assets that can't be handled by them, there will be us who would be staying on it.
The guarantee from the government seems to be secure for them but this all depends to your advocacy or what you believe or what you really prefer in these digital age and momentum of cryptocurrencies.

Its not just about trusting USDT for the reason why they create their own stablecoin. Its easy to hedge when they themselves own stablecoin, they sure would trust themselves than anyone else but why are they using stellar blockchain?

The news about adoption these days are really staggering but the prices are still not getting much spikes.

Well less stable coins means less profit to the banks so it's no surprise that they are looking for stable currencies through far and wide. USDT becoming one of these coins. Now this may spark a new trend among the cryptocurrency industry where stablecoins may dominate the altmarket but that was just my speculation. Only time will tell whether this happens or not.

Airdrops are there to make it known and more famous, when you are starting out a new project, you promise people some money and in return of that money you end up getting a lot of social media presence, like for example getting 5k+ likes in a tweet and in return you give your tokens to them. Obviously this is not the smartest way to get more known because you could potentially get more likes cheaper and still advertise your stuff.

However this way you are getting attention from crypto community directly if you give a decent return. Hence these guys are not doing it, they are already stablecoin backed by stellar tech but also regulated, and when you combine all of this together they do not need marketing, they are already something people should want (in their mind at least).

Stellar is an open network blockchain project and the stable coin they are pertaining are new coin that built on Stellar Blockchain. There will be no airdrop for token holder since this is not free money as they are banks that wants to build there own cryptocurrency. Maybe there's some airdrop for XLM holder but that's not necessary just like what typical project that we are seeing generating there coin in a certain blockchain through fork.

Then we dont Want and dont need this we Only Want things what can make profit for us.

USDT dishonest is not hidden.

I'm sure there wont be any form of airdrop but they may give some few discount to early adopters of the coin.


The idea of Banks joining the cryptocurrency sphere is good but investors need to be careful and be informed about the pitfalls that will follow cause the stablecoins that will be created by Banks/institutions wont be different to fiat.

The problem is not faith, but confidence. I can believe in anything - even in BTC, even in the Macaroni Monster. But at the same time, I am sure that if tomorrow something happens to the bank or organization where my "fiat" pension is located, then I will have somewhere to turn, because all this is insured.
with cryptocurrencies, it is very easy to deceive people because it is still a gray sector of the economy and there is no question of any reliable insurance. today, this pension crypto fund is there and everyone is happy, and tomorrow it has already disappeared without a trace, and all investments are lost in the mixer. And then what?

But I don't understand one thing :
The banks are thinking of using stable coins and many of them are 1:1 against USD so the value of these coins will change according to the market fluctuations. If they are going to use gold stable coin or something like that they will have to battle high inflation. This way they will have to change their policies in a way to battle all those things which would mean they will have to actually take years to make a change like this. I think they should start allowing the trading of stable coins and cryptocurrencies in the same section and then go onwards from that point.

At the same time if Stable-coins are regulated then how different will they be from governmental currencies like USD ???

They need something which would be different then they have to allow cryptocurrencies like bitcoins, ETH , hold some stocks and make an analysis every month.

Plus all those security things it never works my parents had a huge amount of cash deposited in a bank 🏦 apparently the owner was convicted of fraud and he ran away and thus it's just like and everyone lost their money. But when cryptocurrencies were banned in India I had some coins in a wallet , so they messaged me and asked me to move it from some other wallet or sell and even though I did that after 1 month or so , they never blocked the account or anything.

I concur, banks are under the supervision of the authorities, so they do business in a much better way than exchanges compared to the exchange that issued USDT. in this case, Germany’s Bankhaus von der Heydt (BVDH) has received approval from the regulator BaFIN to issue tokenized bonds called EURB. Euro stable coins EURS developed by the Maltese startup called STASIS as an EIP20 standard token on the Ethereum platform in 2018, more competition which mean the quality of service will increase.
Moreover, Bankhaus von der Heydt has partnered with SatoshiPay as a cryptocurrency payments provider to integrate the regulatory complaint EURB into their network.

In the future, virtually all states will have their own central bank stablecoins.  That is, their fiat money will be used in this case using blockchain technology.  Such stablecoins will perform much more efficiently than their regular non-cash payments.  I see no reason for governments to maintain private and commercial stablecoins that they do not control and may disappear over time.

Exactly. With the emerging tech like blockchain, banks can work with it and use this public domain for their internal use. I mean the transactions that are made with the help of blockchain will help banks to increase their safety and integrity of the data/transaction. This can help them master the data embedded in their servers and also the info would be virtually indestructible. That's the advantage of blockchain for our traditional banking system.

I am not so sure, if stablecoins really have to do anything with the banking system. I mean it's more or less nothing but fiat currency only in the crypto format. They might take interest just for the above stated para and nothing more. Stable coin can not fulfil the world's need since we don't have infra to overcome worldwide transactions. (Underdeveloped to developed countries).

This isn't a airdrop so don't hope about getting free tokens or such, this looks like the same central bank digital currency that's been talked about several times now, there will be no reason to invest on such coin since it's stable but it's definitely going to come in handy just like USDT

This is quite a controversial issue, because the same Visa or MC still remain in the first place in terms of transaction speed on the network, including between countries.
My claim is rather that the crypto community is ready to eat everything where there is the word "blockchain" and praise it saying that "so we will win". In fact, they do not notice how happy they are about the development of what they were originally against

How creating of stable coin benefits to Banks, remember that there aren't huge associated with transactions with blockchain except if they really want to create and design such a blockchain which I don't see people buying.
Cryptocurrency and bank world is just two different things even though they have some similarities, I don't like bank involvement in cryptocurrency, they will ruin many things.

One way or another, everything depends on the individual characteristics and character of a person, as well as on his needs in life. There are people who are satisfied with little and They get the thrill from life entirely from something else, and not from great wealth.

Not all coins will be airdropped. Those who believe their coin needs no additional carrot to pull users towards it will not airdrop.

USDt is shit wrapped in a pretty paper just waiting for someone to open it and release the smell.  It's completely normal that financial institutions will try to avoid it just like they've been avoiding XRP for many years despite their efforts to be a bridge cryptocurrency.

Banks are embarrassed by the current economic crisis. They are looking for a far-reaching and stable currency. USD can meet their needs. Where the value of the dollar fluctuates. But the value of the USD is almost fixed. They are choosing the path of reconciliation after not taking risks. For digitalis, they are motivated to enter the crypt world.

One way or another, any stable cryptocurrency is backed by a certain material or financial equivalent of a particular fiat currency. But nevertheless, for some reason, the European Union has banned the use of a stable cryptocurrency in its territory. But I believe that soon they will change their mind. One way or another, stable cryptocurrencies cannot be considered full-fledged cryptocurrencies, since they are in any case dependent on classic currencies, but at the same time, the banking system can become a serious player in the cryptocurrency market by providing stablecoins, since they are very useful for cryptocurrency users.

Banks have been getting into the integrated usage of stablecoins. This is truly a healthy way of market widening which will cater more users towards cryptocurrency. Also these stablecoins were well audited and has got clear data about the same. Already few countries have made plans of having their own stablecoins, but those doesn't have any associate with technology. Those are just the digital form of traditional currency.

And they can still launder money too, they may even avoid auditing for their stablecoin since they are well connected to the government. I wouldn't be surprised one day we are just left seeing banks are accumulating BTC through the stablecoins they create today.

There are many directions where the adoption for cashless, I guess the stablecoin can be part of it too besides the CBDC.

Just think they're only picking interest in stablecoin because that's the best competition to bitcoin in regards to the adoption of cryptocurrency. If there was any coin that can meet the need of the average users that doesn't want to deal with the traditional banking system anymore then stablecoin are the best alternative to go due to its stable form and less volatality.

With stablecoin the banks feels they can beat bitcoin. The total rate of transaction already recorded in the stablecoin market surpassed that of bitcoin at some point. So there's every possibility of stablecoin overthrowing bitcoin if the banks comes in. But this can only be in market capitalization and not in price appreciation.

Nevertheless since the banks backed stablecoin won't be decentralized they won't be any different form the current fiat systems in existence. What will be different is just their digitization.

The banks can print more money to backed the stable coin and then create a stable value for the stable coin. It has already proposed since last year if there's a lot of parties interesting to issue their own CBDC or stable coins.
Some countries already declared that if they will use stellar to issue their own CBDC too.
The bank will not try to miss this golden opportunity to be involved in the development of digitalization. everything is about to be digitalized in the future.

Stable money best ideas adopted by bank but not give much profit if saving only with stable coin have the same price, I think better if you wanna get much profit looking very risk coin like bitcoin or ethereum and another altcoin where have potential growing up more than stable coin like USDT. Risk is the way how to be success and earn much profit, if keep safety with stable assets you waste your time and waste big chance with have much money but afraid to invest and save your assets with cryptocurrency.
