Binance Decentralized Exchange (DEX) is all set to list as many as five new stablecoins on its platform. All the five stablecoins pegged to fiat are from the recognized issuer TrustToken, a firm backed by the renowned venture capital company Andreessen Horowitz (also known as a16z).
TrustToken disclosed while talking to The Block that the five stablecoins that they are planning to launch soon on Binance Chain, the native blockchain of Binance DEX, are TrueGBP, TrueUSD, TrueHKD, TrueCAD, and TrueAUD. As of now, these stablecoins were available only on Ethereum in the form of ERC20 tokens.
Divulging more details, TrustToken said that the unveiling of these stablecoins on Binance’s non-custodial exchange would facilitate new fiat onramps that will let the users enjoy more options for moving between bank accounts and digital currencies. In addition, users of Binance DEX would also be able to trade stablecoins with a mere 0.04 percent trading fees.
