Tether (USDT) launches on Kusama

 


Tether (USDT), whose market capitalization of over USD 82 billion makes it the largest stablecoin in the world, was launched on the Kusama network.


Launch on Polkadot's "Canary Network" brings the pioneering dollar-pegged stablecoin to yet another blockchain.


Currently, USDT is live on ten major blockchain platforms including Ethereum, Tron, Solana, EOS, Liquid Network, Omni, Algorand, and Bitcoin Cash's standard ledger protocol.


Driving transactions on Kusama's Statemine

Kusama, a scalable, multi-chain network of specialized blockchains, provides a platform for developers to run experimental projects in the Polkadot ecosystem. The network's first parachain, which is a single blockchain running in parallel within the broader Polkadot ecosystem, is Statemine.


USDT will now be used to power transactions on Kusama's Parachain Statemine, Tether said in an announcement .


Statemine is a type of "public good parachain" designed to keep the balance between all fungible and non-fungible tokens deployed within the network. Statemine allows developers to deploy various assets including tokenized artworks and stablecoins.


Mainly, the parachain has helped strengthen the scalability and security of the Kusama network. It is also instrumental in improving blockchain interoperability.


Beneficial for developers

The launch of Tether on Kusama is a milestone for both the stablecoin and the cryptocurrency platform. It's a move meant to open up the blockchain for developers to explore interoperability to the fullest.


“ We are excited to launch USD₮ on Kusama and provide its community with access to the most liquid, stable and trusted stablecoins in the digital token space, ” said Paolo Ardoino, CTO of Tether, in the press release.


He added:


“ For those who believe in the importance of decentralized, permissionless ecosystems, Kusama is a perfect representation of that ethos. It's a platform designed to put control in the hands of its users, and we look forward to becoming an integral part of their growing ecosystem ."


With USDT's ease of use and accessibility, developers can now take advantage of multi-chain capability and build trusted applications that can be used across blockchains.


Kusama (KSM) is trading at $161 at the time of writing, up about 4.1% over the past 24 hours.

Cardano price forecast – price breaks out! Are we near $1.5 soon?

 In our last Cardano price prediction , we wrote that the price could break out soon. The reason for this was a symmetrical triangle. This triangle was performed after the crash, so we expected the price to break down. But now the course has broken out of the triangle in a bullish manner. But how far could the course rise or what is the goal? Today we will explain to you about the Cardano course ! Cardano price broke out of the triangle and was able to rally to the $1.19 resistance. We tested this resistance, and a short time later the price was sold off. The triangle's target was around $1.23, so we now believe the price has completed the target. As a result, we no longer expect a further increase. Instead, the price could now descend and possibly form new lows. If the price breaks the $1.19 resistance, the price could rally to around $1.5. There is the next resistance where the Cardano price could bounce. If Cardano price fails to break the $1.19 resistance, we would expect the p...

Cardano founder doubts Bitcoin's future as world reserve currency

  Cardano's founder doesn't believe Bitcoin has what it takes to become the world's leading currency. Charles Hoskinson stated in a recent interview that he didn't think Bitcoin would become the world reserve currency. According to the founder of Cardano, a cryptocurrency with smart contract features would become the global reserve currency. Hoskinson believes Cardano or Ethereum would become the world reserve currency. A global reserve currency must offer services like smart contracts, metadata standards, and improved throughput that complete enormous transactions per second. According to the Cardano founder , the scarcity of Bitcoin is due to the high cost of production: "If you make paintings, one of which you have to paint by hand and the other by machine, and both look the same and the demand for both is the same, then the effort for one is a thousand times greater than for the other." Hoskinson spoke about Bitcoin's massive energy consumption, addin...
