The crypto field has reached an important milestone: the supply of stablecoins has exceeded $200 billion. This means that assets anchored to the US dollar are being widely used in personal and institutional payments, and their application in the field of decentralized finance (DeFi) is also expanding. The rapid popularization of stablecoins may have a profound impact on the payment industry and even the entire economic system.
From a micro perspective, stablecoins are expected to reduce payment costs to less than a cent; from a macro perspective, the easy availability of the dollar may pose a threat to countries with unstable currencies. Although this trend is still developing, if stablecoins have grown from a niche crypto field to an important industry in the past five years, then in the next five years, they may be further integrated into our daily lives.
2. "Analysis of the Prospects of Ethereum Protocol Technology Upgrade (2): The Surge"
Ebunker
Since October this year, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has published a series of articles on the future possibilities of the Ethereum protocol, covering the six parts of the Ethereum development roadmap: The Merge, The Surge, The Scourge, The Verge, The Purge, and The Splurge.
We have previously interpreted the first part of the roadmap (The Merge), and this article will continue to interpret the second part of the series, The Surge. In this article, Vitalik focuses on the scalability and long-term development of Ethereum. From this stage of the technical roadmap, we can gain insight into how Ethereum will transform into a protocol that can handle huge demands (TPS reaches 100,000+) while maintaining decentralization and security.
