Company Description
Tether (USDT) is the largest stablecoin cryptocurrency. It is pegged to the US Dollar. (1 USDT=$1 USD) Each Tether token that is issued is backed by $1 USD that is supposedly held in reserve. Tether has been the subject of some controversy because they have failed to allow a transparent audit of their currency reserves. | Binance USD stablecoin is backed by US Dollars, and is issued in partnership by Binance and Paxos. The coin is approved by the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS), and allows traders to convert US Dollars to a digital version without trading fees. | The Multi-Collateral DAI stablecoin uses multiple types of collateral to back its value and an interest rate mechanism to stabilize its price. It is designed to be a digital currency with a stable value. MakerDAO is the decentralized autonomous organization that manages DAI and works to combat its price volatility. Multi-Collateral DAI was launched in November, 2019 and is meant to be a successor to the Single-Collateral DAI, that will eventually be phased out. The new stablecoin will enable new features to the Maker Protocol, such as the the Dai Savings Rate (DSR), as well as additional types of asset collateral. |
