Bit Trade Limited are partnering with Emparta to build and launch Australia’s first Aussie dollar-backed stablecoin

Bit Trade Limited is excited to announce that Bit Trade is partnering with Emparta to build and launch the first Aussie dollar-backed stablecoin.

We see extraordinary opportunities for this stablecoin in the Australian market and look forward to being one of the first to use this game-changing digital currency.

What is stablecoin?

Unlike bitcoin or Ether, stablecoins are digital currencies pegged to a reserve or asset such as the US or Australian dollar. Importantly, the value of a stablecoin is exactly that – stable and relative to the underlying asset.

Stablecoins solve one of the principal issues that may drive investors seeking steady returns and merchants that currently accept traditional currency away from digital currencies: volatility.

We believe that stablecoins will boost trust, accelerate wide-spread adoption, and could function as the backbone of blockchain-based financial applications, especially here in Australia given the favourable regulatory environment.

There are a wealth of use-cases for stablecoins, including:

• Wages & rents or any other recurring payment
• Remittance to cover price differences while payments are being processed
• Store of value for longer term hedging, such as for miners to cover recurring cost and facilitating a stable income
• Commerce & payments for any business to accept everyday payments, in either fiat or cryptocurrencies, thus avoiding volatility
• Lending & prediction markets (long-term issuances)
• Trading & wealth management. In this case, stablecoins are needed because they:
• Provide easier visibility and adoption by showing fluctuations in fiats
• Provide arbitrage opportunities
• Provide exposure to fiat rates (other than through ETH or BTC)
• Provide denomination of trading pairs in AU dollars instead of bitcoin or Ether

In essence, stablecoins bring the benefits of blockchain technology like transparency, security, and immutability without losing the assurances of trust and stability offered by fiat currencies.
