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. | Single Collateral DAI is a decentralized stablecoin that has 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, that is pegged to the US dollar. (1 SAI=$1) MakerDAO is the decentralized autonomous organization that manages DAI and works to combat its price volatility. MakerDAO hopes to enable more decentralized applications by providing a stable digital currency whose value will not be susceptible to drastic fluctuations. The Maker platform itself, is powered by the MKR token, which is not a stablecoin, and has a volatile price because of its role on the Maker platform. In November of 2019 MakerDAO launched the Multi-Collateral Dai (MCD), which will eventually replace the existing Single-Collateral Dai, and will enable the company to offer a wider range of DeFi services. | Gold Bits Coin is developing a digital currency that is backed by gold. They hope to create a digital asset with less price volatility that can be used as a medium of exchange. GBC is built on Ethereum. Their marketing materials are unclear about how much gold they have in reserve to back each Etherreum-based token. |
