Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

STELLAR Blockchain Chosen for New EURT Euro-Pegged STABLECOIN Initiative

"Ireland-based electronic money institution (EMI) DECTA is partnering with French fintech company Next Generation to introduce a new Euro-pegged stablecoin, ‘EURT’.

The collaboration aims to create a fully compliant stablecoin that adheres to the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulations and operates on the Stellar blockchain, alongside three additional platforms."

"Next Generation, which has close ties with Tempo France, previously launched EURT with the Stellar Foundation as one of the first stablecoins in 2017. 

However, the project was suspended due to the lack of a regulatory framework. The implementation of MiCA now provides a structured environment, facilitating the relaunch of this project."

"As of 1 July 2024, the new MiCA regulations permit the issuance of Euro-pegged stablecoins exclusively by credit institutions or EMIs within the EU. With its EMI license from the Central Bank of Ireland, DECTA is well-positioned to be a pioneering issuer under these new regulations."

“The implementation of MiCA has ushered in a new era in the history of modern digital finance in Europe,” said Suren Hayriyan, president of Next Generation. “The demand for Euro stablecoins is extremely high. Companies, entrepreneurs, and private users today lose a lot on forced conversions.

"The firms plan to launch EURT in October, aligning with strategic goals and regulatory milestones. The partners emphasize the SIGNIFICANCE OF REGULATION, indicating that UNREGULATED Euro-denominated stablecoins will no longer have a place in the market"

ARE CBDC'S A FORM OF CRYPTOCURRENCY?

THIS ARTICLE IS VERY COMPREHENSIVE AND WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND CLICKING THE LINK TO THE FULL ARTICLE FOR REVIEW

"Although CBDCs are a form of digital currency, they are not a cryptocurrency. Compared to cryptocurrencies, CBDCs are centralized, meaning they’re issued and regulated by a monetary authority — in this case, a country’s government.

They’re also considered legal tender and hold the same status as any traditional fiat currency issued by a central bank. Finally, by virtue of the fact that CBDCs are based on fiat currency, they’re far less volatile than cryptocurrencies, whose value is determined by market forces and speculative activity."

"While both CBDCs and cryptocurrencies have their advantages and disadvantages, the general consensus is that they are two very different things, with different implications for the economy and society at large."

"The decentralized nature of cryptocurrencies has also accelerated innovation in cross-border payments — for example, RIPPLE, a Real-Time Gross Settlement system, has successfully built a global payment ecosystem with the XRP cryptocurrency at its core."

"The growing popularity of cryptocurrencies has created increased competition for central banks, which have realized that they need to offer instant, electronic payments to stay current and maintain market share."

"There’s been some confusion recently around the relationship between FedNow and CBDCs, with some wondering whether FedNow is a CBDC. To cut right to the chase: No, it is not, and the two are fundamentally different.

CBDCs are not a payment mechanism, but rather a form of currency and a digital means of storing value. FedNow, however, is a payment mechanism — in other words, it’s a means of moving funds from one bank account to another.

"To put things into perspective, the FedNow Service can be likened to a highway system, providing a fast and efficient infrastructure for the movement of payments between financial institutions.

 CBDCs enable central banks to compete with private-sector offerings by providing a wider array of services to consumers, including a more stable, secure alternative to cryptocurrencies.

There’s also a cost-saving incentive to CBDCs, as electronic payments are less expensive to process — both for governments and financial institutions — than paper-based payments."

"Looking to the future, FedNow, digital payments, ISO 20022, and CBDCs will be transformational not only for businesses within the financial services industry but for anyone who uses financial services. In the long run, they will coexist with cryptocurrencies, providing consumers and businesses with a wide range of complementary mechanisms for the digital transfer of value."
