In addition to this, Zhao Dong, the source of the information, says that the same company is also considering to launch Stablecoins backed by bulk commodities like gold, rubber and crude oil.
Tether Holdings plans to emulate its success with Tether USDT as it became the most dominant stablecoin and currently accounts for the majority cryptocurrency trades— 75% of all BTC trades, 49% of ETH, 40% XRP, and 57% BCH.
