Word of the Month: Stablecoin
Stablecoins are a type of cryptocurrency whose value is “pegged” to another currency, most often the U.S. dollar. They maintain this peg through reserves of dollars, other cryptos or a mix of both kept in U.S.-controlled bank accounts. Stablecoins are frequently used as a hedge against crypto market volatility, or for generating passive income through staking or lending. Some popular stablecoins include Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Euro Coin (EUROC) and Binance Dollar (BUSD). They can be purchased or swapped in the BitPay app in addition to your favorite crypto exchanges.
Product Spotlight: XRP
Starting immediately, BitPay supports XRP worldwide. BitPay users can buy XRP, store securely with self-custody in the BitPay Wallet, buy gift cards, swap XRP and spend XRP with BitPay merchants.
Merchants can now accept XRP payments from over 100 wallets. The update will automatically be reflected within the BitPay Wallet and merchant settings. Users and merchants don’t need to make any updates to begin using and accepting XRP.
