Regarding the Stable Coin financial component, YC said that there is a lot of debate about the usefulness of Blockchain technology Long, but it is clear that Stable Coin will be an important part of the future of the currency. $136 billion worth of Stable Coins have been issued in the market, but the opportunity seems to be far from being fully tapped. So far, only about seven million people have traded Stable Coins, while more than half a billion people live in countries with annual Inflation rates above 30%. U.S. banks hold a total of $17 trillion in customer deposits, which are potential conversion targets. However, there are only a handful of major Stable Coin issuers, and even fewer major Liquidity Providers.
