All specialized newspapers and magazines, forums, chats, reddit, twitter, etc. they are talking and commenting on the announcement of Circle to create its StableCoin (USDC); at the moment little news has been leaked except that at the launch USDC should exchange on Polinex (bought by Circle just a few months ago) as well as on OKEx, DigiFinex, CoinEx, KuCoin, Coinplug and XDAEX exchanges. Many are saying that soon USDC will replace Tether and replace it soon. https://www.coindesk.com/usd-coin-arrives-circles-crypto-stablecoin-is-now-trading/ |

For me the competion with help drive the prices of Crypto assets up. |

The term stablecoin refers to any cryptocurrency coin or token pegged to an asset with a relatively stable price, such as fiat currencies or gold. A stablecoin can be under control of a central entity, such as Tether (USDT), or a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), such as Dai, a stablecoin which is issued on the Ethereum network. Nubits is another stablecoin which is partly controlled by a DAO, but is also under control by a central authority, representing a hybrid issuance model. A stablecoin is typically backed by a reserve asset that has the exact equal value of the coin/token. The backup reserve can be a fiat currency, a precious metal (e.g. gold), or a cryptocurrency. The issuer, whether it is a central entity, or under control of a DAO, should only issue an amount of stablecoins equal to the backup reserve they own. New coins can be issued only when the backup reserve grows. Read the full guide |

And now you can add to your list the most trsuted one - Gemini coin which will be the best alternative for Tether because it will be backed by real dollar and they will have all requested audits.

I think I would use any of them safely especially trueusd, I suggest people not to use usdt, though there will probably be no problem, its past is not clear at all.

For me the competion with help drive the prices of Crypto assets up. Agree with this totally! The thing is in as much as the USDC would be just another option in the space for stable centralized coin; it still does not just mean all of a sudden everyone would just discard the usage of tether completely. There is absolutely so much to go around, and apparently like someone said, will be backed by real fiat eventually, and for the fact that Tether has grown huge over the years, and being widely used across board, makes it so hard for a new stable coin to just displace it, when it is not like it has something different or better to offer than just the capability to use it to hedge funds. |

This is not going to be the first stable coin after USDT as we have seen so many of them in the past and many more still popping up daily, so Circle coming up with their own USDC is only going to be backed by reserved assets at the end of it all, and would just be another option for those who want to trade and hedge their funds anytime they want to do so. |

Sometimes I wonder if people read before writing or maybe they just do it because they have to reach the weekly post of their signature! In this thread there are only 2 pages and about 30 posts; it was enough that you looked at the previous page and only 7 posts before yours and you realized that we have already talked about the coin gemini! |

At the moment there is still an overwhelming predominance of Tether among the stablecoin with over 90% of all daily volumes, but it is a market that has just been born. If we think about it, it reminds us of the beginning of the crypto market in which it took 5-6 years to go from the absolute domain of Bitcoin (which weighed for 80-90% of the market in 2013) to the 50% we have today. Probably this market will also undergo this evolution and transformation, and this will be good for everyone! https://www.ccn.com/tether-dominates-98-of-stablecoins-daily-trading-volume-report/ |

I think that after having the various hype on token with Masternode or with POS to Roi elevated, then we have moved on to have hype on decentralized exchanges, now the moment has arrived of the hype on the stablecoin, and maybe this is good because may significantly lower barriers to entry to the market, thus leading to massive adoption of blockchain technologies. Here is an article where you can almost see a race to challenge the "shaky monopoly" of tether https://theblockcrypto.com/tiny/paxos-takes-lead-circle-is-competing-gemini-is-losing/ |

I'm very surprised that they released their own stablecoin after added 4 new kinds of stablecoin to their exchange. In fact, I thought GUSD backed by Gemini should be strong in near future. https://gemini.com/dollar/ |

Thank you for sharing your information. All of your introduced coins are very far from my understanding. As I can see your thought, it's just a defensive portfolio to face up with dumping market. However, it's better to own passive income coins which can help you to earn dividend, such as: NEO, Tcash, icon...
But those coins he introduced if you will only make a deep look,you’ll find future profit in some of them,but you are also right that passive income coin has great dividends than those not BUt i will stick to my plan holding coins that is in top five position for sure profit in long term |

Thanks for the info and tips on your listed coins.
However, my opinion is that all "stablecoins" are actually all scams. A true digital currency can never be stable, heck, even traditional currencies are never stable. Markets move and prices change, these coins are artificially faking "stable" value and will end up all being exposed as scams that they truly are.
Wow. I can't believe I came across a post like this. Educate yourself. A token can be made stable if it is: 1. backed by a valuable asset 2. redeemable Fiat currencies do have slight fluctuations in price. However, the major currencies, USD, Euro, GBP, don't have huge and immediate changes that would render them, or anything backed by them, unstable. What fiat currencies do have is a built in inflation. So in that respect, they are not stable, in terms of purchasing power, over long periods of time. The best of both worlds is a stablecoin that not only doesn't lose value over time like fiat currencies do, but actually appreciates at a rate which keeps pace with inflation. A true store of value. Read the whitepaper. It's all in there. https://www.monetran.io/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/monetran-whitepaper-edited-9-27-2018.pdf |

With the markets often manipulated and in the hands of the great whales, we small investors are at the mercy of violent downpours and sudden dumps, which erode or cancel the gain of months or years in a few months (as happened from December to today). How to try to protect yourself from all this?
Until recently there were only two possible ways: bank transfer out of the exchange to your bank (return to FIAT) or temporarily park their crypts and convert them into Tether, with all the risks involved.
In recent months, however, following the alleged rumors on the solvency of tether, alternatives to tether or bank transfer have been developed; they are the so-called STABLECOIN
1) TrueUsd (TUSD) which uses smart contracts to guarantee decentralization; coupled to the dollar, the euro, the yen, but also to precious raw materials, stocks and real estate
2) Dai (DAI) in which users block their ETHs in an intelligent contract within the MakerDao system, from which Dai is born; when you redeem the Dai, you get your ETHs again
3) Haven Protocol (XHV), when the system and the network will be mature and stable, through crypto haven it will be possible to keep crypto or fiat sending them to offshore storage contracts that will retain the value of that precise moment; Haven is Monero's fork, for which he inherits anonymity and stealth, as well as having RingCT.
4) Digix (DGX), is the first coin totally hooked to gold, in which 1DGX = 1 gram of gold, allowing us to actually purchase 99.99% LBMA gold standard, certified with Bureau Veritas audit and guarded at Silver Bullion's Safe House, redeemable in 100g or 1000g ingots by going to the Vault store in Singapore.
Then we have other little known and with very few volumes, but still valid, such as NUBITS and EURN
Finally there are several other projects ready to be born, among which I would mention:
Alchemint (SDT) coin launched on Neo blockchain, hooked and stabilized with Neo and then with gold, real estate and other crypto.
Carbon that will use Hedera Hashgraph's ledger (new alternative blockhain that uses Asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerance, the strongest form of security attainable for a distributed ledger), which incorporates an elastic policy adjusting the amount of money to market demand, maintaining stability price of $ 1.
In conclusion, today compared to a few months / year ago there are many more possibilities to protect our crypto earnings / savings when we see strong turbulence and market volatility. In some cases, if well exploited, these possibilities also allow us to earn rather than lose capital, such as token Digix in which we can exploit the bitcoin / crypto downtrend with the rise of gold, a safe haven.
What is this s.h.i.... with stable coin, we just need more exchanges with Fiat pairs and that's it! first it's said Fiat is unstable and then stable coins with fiat pegging, what an irony! |

Thank you for this well explained post about stable coin in bear market stablecoins are the only which can save our investment from the effect of volatility. But one must not rely on stablecoin too much as stable coins are inflationary and are not truly decentralised. Due to bear market there is huge rise in the stablecoins within last 6 months backed by USD dollar or some other assets like gold, precious metals , diamonds or real estate assets etc. But all this are inflationary isn't it???
