Industry Spotlight

Stably

“Stably is building the foundation for the blockchain economy through Stably USD (USDS), a regulated and transparent stablecoin.

Stably USD (USDS) is a fiat-collateralized stablecoin created by Stably, Inc. Each Stably USD token is legally backed and redeemable for a US Dollar held in FDIC-insured escrow accounts managed by our fiduciary custodians, such as Prime Trust.

The biggest and most obvious problem with using popular cryptocurrencies for transactional purposes at the moment is price volatility. By making Stably USD redeemable and pegged 1-to-1 with US dollars, we can virtually eliminate volatility while still retaining many useful characteristics of a cryptocurrency – including fast transaction speed, anonymity, and immutability.”
