Ubyx Raises $10 Million to Advance ‘Stablecoin Epoch’
- Digital asset startup Ubyx has raised $10 million to advance what it calls 'stablecoin ubiquity.'
- Ubyx aims to promote the global acceptance of many stablecoins with issuers like Paxos, Ripple, Agora, Transfero, Monerium, and GMO Trust.
- The company addresses barriers to mass adoption in the stablecoin market by providing a clearing system that connects issuers and receiving institutions.
- Ubyx allows redemption of stablecoins for fiat at par value into bank and FinTech accounts, standardizing redemption for cash-equivalent accounting treatment.
- The company believes it will usher in the stablecoin epoch by solving market fragmentation and aligning economic incentives.
- Stablecoins are becoming more common with companies like Bank of America, Walmart, and Amazon looking to launch their versions of the dollar-pegged currency.
- The rise of stablecoins is driving operational innovation but also raising questions about ecosystem control and interoperability.
