Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum and other Altcoins can be extremely volatile. Some of them moving up and down by around a factor of 20 to 30 percent within a couple of hours. It is believed that stablecoins can help bring much-needed stability and predictability into crypto markets though this hypothesis remains to be tested to be true. Stablecoins are generally pegged against fiat currency like USD, EUR, CNY or JPY and sometimes against gold or oil.

Brief about USDS Stablecoin

StableUSD Coin (USDS), a regulated, US dollar-backed stable coin governed by Stably and audited by an auditor, Cohen & Co. The claim is that this ratio is guaranteed whenever one purchases or redeems USDS directly with Stably only. Stably holds a one-to-one reserve of USD against all issued USDS in the market. This ratio may not be one-to-one in the open market though.

Stably's announcement further said, "The first exchange that USDS will be listed on is Bittrex, which will open trading for USDS/BTC trading pairs at 9:00 AM PST (Thursday, December 6th, 2018). Leading third-party auditor, Cohen & Co., will provide regular attestations on our reserve balance — an attestation on our initial balance will be published next week.
