    Don't you remember UST ?

    This is laughable.
    They kept the description on MarketCap :confused:

    "provides several benefits that have made it a stand-out stablecoin competitor"
    "gained the reputation as the most scalable stablecoin"

    UST is an algorithmic stablecoin which is very different than fiat-backed 1-to-1 stablecoins like USDT, USDC, GUSD, BUSD, USDP

    I think in understand stable coins; they are basically US dollars. Who is using them and is their use widespread?
    When you refer to unbankable countries are these stable coins used as a medium of exchange or just as a store of value?

    Coinbase is willing to take 65 Billion USDT crypto assets from everyone and give everyone the fully-backed US company stablecoin USDC?

    Coinbase will not charge any fees to Tether holders

    Out of the goodness of Coinbase heart... lmao

    I don't think so
