Coinbase’s CEO, Brian Armstrong, shared that Binance has been spreading out its stablecoin investments to include other options besides USD Coin (USDC).
During a recent meeting where Coinbase, a big platform for cryptocurrencies, talked about their financial performance, Brian Armstrong, their leader, shared something interesting. He said that Binance, another important cryptocurrency exchange, has been moving some of its money from a stablecoin called USD Coin (USDC) to a different stablecoin. This made people curious about what Binance is up to with stablecoins.
Data from the records of cryptocurrency transactions suggest that Binance has been changing USDC into regular US dollars. They might be doing this to support their new favorite stablecoin, called First Digital USD (FDUSD).
On Coinbase, people have mostly been using USDC, and even Coinbase is part of a group that takes care of and supports USDC.
As Binance explores new ways to use stablecoins, the world of cryptocurrencies is seeing changes in how people are using them. USDC’s value has gone down from $44.5 billion to $26 billion over the past year, and what Binance is doing could affect the competition between different stablecoin providers.
Binance has been interested in new stablecoins for a while now. In 2022, they changed the USDC that their users had into their own stablecoin called Binance USD (BUSD).
FDUSD, which is a stablecoin from Hong Kong, has become more popular lately because Binance has done things like making it easy to trade and not charging fees for it. This has caught people’s attention and made them start using FDUSD more.
