Speaking at the Twitter Spaces event, Changpeng Zhao reasoned that most people still make payments and settlements in fiat currencies, so they measure the return on their investments in dollars. In this regard, dollar-backed stablecoins are essential.
However, due to the recent demand from the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) to stop issuing the BUSD stablecoin, stablecoins backed by the euro, Japanese yen or Singapore dollar will become especially popular in the crypto space, Zhao suggested.. This will reduce the industry's dependence on stable cryptocurrencies pegged to the US dollar.. In this case, instead of the dollar, gold will do, Zhao added.
“Given the regulatory pressure on dollar-denominated stablecoins, the crypto industry will be forced to look elsewhere,” Zhao said.
Binance CEO noted that algorithmic stablecoins can also play an important role in the development of the cryptocurrency ecosystem. However, he warned that they are subject to certain risks that fiat-backed stablecoins do not have.. Zhao believes that in any case, stablecoin issuers should disclose detailed information to investors so that they can decide for themselves which stablecoins to invest in.
