Stablecoins and CBDCs: Can CBDCs replace Stablecoins?

stablecoins and cbdc

Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) are often called the future of money. However, the cryptocurrency community is skeptical of this claim – because CBDCs in their current form do not provide the same degree of privacy as cryptocurrencies.

More and more countries are considering implementing CBDCs

Many people confuse Stablecoins and CBDCs: the concept of digital currencies is hardly new. The Bank of Finland introduced the Avant smart card to replace cash 30 years ago. In the early 2000s, the Finnish government abandoned the project, but it is considered the world’s first CBDC currency.

The second wave of interest in CBDC arose several years ago, against the backdrop of the active development of the crypto-industry. The attractiveness of the state’s digital currency to governments is obvious. Not only does it allow central banks to track and control transactions, but it also does not require intermediaries such as commercial banks.

According to the Atlantic Council Tracker, 114 countries are now considering the introduction of a CBDC currency. Together they account for more than 95% of world GDP. Eleven countries, including Nigeria and the Bahamas, have already launched their digital currencies, and China is currently pilot testing it.

But the biggest benefit of digital currency is its efficiency and ability to make payments seamless. In cases where privacy is not as important, the technology can prove its full potential. An example would be transactions between banks and other financial institutions.

The cryptocommunity is skeptical

The cryptocommunity is based on several important ideas – decentralization, freedom, and privacy. Its members believe that centralized financial institutions and governments have too much power, and people have the right to act without oversight. So it is not surprising that Web3-enthusiasts do not support the idea of CBDC. Of course, most blockchains also allow transactions to be tracked, but they are not tied to the real identity of the user.

Top stablecoins can compete with CBDC currency

The speed at which CBDCs are being implemented and the eagerness with which countries have embarked on their development look daunting. But still, there is a chance that top stablecoins will win their place under the sun.

Ultimately, the fate of CBDCs and Stablecoins will depend on several factors at once: the severity of oversight, mass acceptance and usability. And if the cryptocommunity cannot influence the decisions of regulators, then raising awareness is a realistic task. After all, while Stablecoins provide more private and secure transactions, there is no denying that central banks’ digital currencies look very attractive to people who have no experience with cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Here’s Why BTC Jumped by 5% Today

letizo News

Published

on

Bitcoin has recently experienced an uptick in demand near the crucial support region of the 100-day moving average, leading to a notable rebound.

This price action underscores a bullish sentiment in the market with the potential for a continued rally toward a new all-time high.

Technical Analysis

By Shayan

The Daily Chart

A detailed analysis of Bitcoin’s daily chart reveals that following a resurgence of demand near the critical $53K support area, the cryptocurrency initiated an impulsive bullish rally, surpassing several key resistance levels and introducing a bullish sentiment into the market.

These zones include the 200-day moving average at $60.5K, the 100-day moving average at $64.4K, and the static resistance at $61K. After breaking above the 100-day MA, the price recently exhibited a corrective retracement, completing a pullback to the broken level and validating the breakout.

Currently, Bitcoin has faced heightened buying pressure near the 100-day MA and experienced a bullish rebound toward the $67K threshold. If conditions remain stable, there is potential for the bullish trend toward the significant resistance region of $70K in the mid-term to continue.

The 4-Hour Chart

On the 4-hour chart, after receiving sufficient support near the lower boundary of the multi-month wedge at $54K, the price initiated an impulsive bullish rally, reaching the wedge’s upper trendline at $68K.

This price action clearly indicates that buyers are eager to push above the $70K resistance and set a new ATH for Bitcoin in the mid-term. During the recent rally, the price has formed an ascending short-term trendline, serving as the main support for BTC in the short term.

However, Bitcoin faced increased selling pressure near the wedge’s upper boundary, leading to a notable rejection toward the upslope trendline and the $64K support region.

Yet, the cryptocurrency was supported by the trendline and the $64K threshold, initiating a new surge toward the wedge’s upper boundary. Currently, the price is confined by the dynamic support of the ascending trendline and the dynamic resistance of the wedge’s upper boundary, roughly forming a triangle pattern.

A break above the wedge’s upper trendline will pave the way for a renewed bullish surge toward the $70K threshold. Conversely, a break below the ascending trendline could lead to a retracement toward the $64K mark.

On-chain Analysis

By Shayan

While Bitcoin’s price has experienced a notable bullish reversal, a closer examination is essential to determine if this trend will persist.

The Taker Buy/Sell Ratio, a crucial metric for evaluating futures market sentiment, provides valuable insights into the market dynamics. Values above 1 indicate aggressive buying by bulls, while values below 1 suggest bearish selling pressure.

The chart highlights the Taker Buy/Sell Ratio, which has experienced an impulsive surge above the “1” threshold concurrently with Bitcoin’s bullish revival. This surge signifies strong buying interest in the perpetual market, indicating a notable bullish sentiment and significant buying activity. If the upward trend in the Taker Buy/Sell Ratio continues, it confirms a potential mid-term bullish trend, with the price likely rallying toward the $70K mark.

Ripple Price Analysis: Is XRP Ready to Finally Explode Above $0.60?

letizo News

Published

on

Ripple’s price is finally gaining some bullish momentum following months of downtrend and consolidation.

By TradingRage

The USDT Paired Chart

Analyzing the XRP/USDT pair, it is evident that the price has demonstrated a rapid recovery from the $0.43 support level. It broke above both the $0.5 level and the 200-day moving average, located around the $0.55 mark.

The price is currently on the verge of breaking above the $0.59 resistance zone and if it succeeds, a rally higher toward the key $0.72 resistance level would be probable in the coming weeks.

The BTC Paired Chart

The BTC paired chart also displays a similar behavior. The market has rebounded and broken above the 800 SAT level. Yet, the price has yet to break through the 200-day moving average, located around the 900 SAT mark.

Typically, a rise above the 200-day moving average indicates the beginning of a new uptrend. Therefore, if a breakout occurs, XRP will likely significantly appreciate against BTC in the short term.
