The past few years have clearly shown that stablecoins have become the central element in the evolution of crypto payments. This has been evident both through our direct experience working with merchants on the ground and through broader industry trends that confirm this development. Our agency partners have likewise identified the growing dominance of stablecoins in the crypto payment space, and we fully acknowledge their importance.
Naturally, we intend to reflect this trend within our own ecosystem and give stablecoins a more prominent role, as they serve as a complementary tool to enable users, for example, to secure staking rewards or potential gains from NIM’s price volatility in stable assets, or to seamlessly convert NIM into stablecoins for payments at established point-of-sale networks.
We have therefore both recognized and embraced the role of stablecoins and are actively working on developing practical concepts to effectively integrate them within the Nimiq ecosystem. The goal is to create real user value and make crypto payments more appealing to a broader audience.
