Tether (USDT) remains the largest stable coin in the market. Backed 1:1 by US Dollar, the project ranks in the top 10 cryptocurrencies.
Now it appears that there will finally be a lucrative New Zealand stable coin. Techemynt has launched its own stable coin backed 1:1 by the New Zealand Dollar. The stable coin will operate under the ticker $NZDs.
Crypto Growth in New Zealand
The growth of cryptocurrencies across the world has seen stable coins play a vital role. By offering instant processing, transferability, and a store of value, stable coins have become integral to the volatile markets. The launch of $NZDs will now mean New Zealanders can trade cryptocurrencies in their own currency.
Techemynt Executive Director Fran Strajnar commented on the launch of the stable coin, saying, “Between the popularity of the New Zealand Dollar and the proliferation of cryptocurrency, Techemynt felt it was an ideal time to fill the gap in the market and lead the creation of an NZD-based stable coin.”
Strajnar also stated that the project had taken over a year to develop. The project also adheres to New Zealand’s legal requirements, he confirmed.
NZDs Ready for Purchase
