By Asset 4 - Stablecoins / Synths
(Under development. Please, come back later. Just published to share the progress)
1. Introduction
Stablecoins peg their price to the price of an underlying asset. This underlying asset can be a commodity, a fiat currency, a financial product or another cryptocurrency. They can be collateralized by the same asset (stablecoins), by another asset or basket of assets (synths) or by an algorithm (algorithmic stablecoins).
2. Definitions
The FSB’s 2020 report, “Regulation, Supervision and Oversight of ‘Global Stablecoin’ Arrangements” described three characteristics that distinguish a GSC from other crypto-assets and other stablecoins. Those characteristics include: (i) the existence of a stabilisation mechanism, (ii) the usability as a means of payment and/or store of value, and (iii) the potential reach and adoption across multiple jurisdictions. The first two characteristics (the existence of a stabilisation mechanism and usability as a means of payment and/or store of value), and the unique risks that these characteristics pose, distinguish stablecoins from other crypto-assets. The third, the potential reach and adoption across multiple jurisdictions, differentiates GSCs from other stablecoins.
