The crypto industry will \u201cprobably\u201d start using euro, yen, or Singapore dollar based stablecoins in the future, reducing<\/a> its reliance on US dollar based stablecoins, according to a Feb. 14 statement on Twitter Spaces by Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao, also known as \u201cCZ.\u201d<\/p>\n

CZ gave the statement in answer to a question about the crypto industry using gold as a standard of value instead of the US Dollar. CZ agreed that it \u201cmakes sense\u201d to use gold. However, \u201cmost people\u2019s costs are still in fiat currencies.\u201d For this reason, most people calculate their investment returns in dollars, which is why US Dollar backed stablecoins are \u201cstill important.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, CZ argued that the US government\u2019s recent actions against US dollar stablecoins will probably lead the global crypto industry to rely on other currencies such as the Euro, Yen, and Singapore Dollar to back stablecoins, as he explained:<\/p>\n

\u201cI think given the current pressure and current stances taken by the regulators on the US Dollar based stablecoins, I think that as you said the industry will probably move away to non US dollar based stablecoins[…]as a result of this we probably will see more euro based or other Japanese yen, Singapore dollar based stablecoins, so it’s actually prompted us to look for more options in different places.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

CZ said that algorithmic stablecoins<\/a> may also play a larger role in the crypto ecosystem going forward. However, he cautioned that algorithmic stablecoins are \u201cinherently gonna have risks\u201d that fiat backed stablecoins don\u2019t have. In CZ\u2019s view, these risks need to be disclosed transparently to users, and reserves for fiat backed stablecoins also need to be disclosed. This way, \u201cusers can very clearly decide what is going on\u201d and make up their own minds about which stablecoins they want to hold or use.<\/p>\n

CZ\u2019s statements came just a day after the SEC accused US dollar based<\/a> stablecoin Binance USD (BUSD) on of being an unregistered \u201csecurity\u201d under U.S. laws. The algorithmic stablecoin, TerraUSD (UST) lost its peg<\/a> to the US dollar in May, causing over $20 billion in losses to investors.<\/p>\n
