Stablecoins

Stablecoins are digital assets pegged to a stable reserve, such as the US Dollar or Gold, to minimize price volatility. Serving as the primary medium of exchange in Web3, tokens like USDT, USDC, and PYUSD facilitate global payments and DeFi liquidity. In 2026, the focus has shifted toward yield-bearing stablecoins and compliant stablecoin frameworks under global regulations like MiCA. This tag covers the intersection of traditional finance (TradFi) and crypto through stable on-chain liquidity solutions.

China Considers Yuan-Pegged Stablecoins to Boost Global Influence

China Considers Yuan-Pegged Stablecoins to Boost Global Influence

The post China Considers Yuan-Pegged Stablecoins to Boost Global Influence appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.   Key highlights: China may allow yuan-pegged stablecoins to boost its global currency influence. Conflux has already launched a CNH-backed stablecoin for cross-border payments. Policy shift challenges dollar dominance amid growing global stablecoin adoption. China is reportedly considering allowing stablecoins pegged to the yuan for the first time, signaling a major reversal in a country that previously banned cryptocurrency trading. The move is aimed at boosting the yuan’s influence globally and modernizing cross-border payments. 180-Degree policy shift in digital assets If approved, this plan would represent a radical shift in Beijing’s approach to digital assets. In 2021, China banned cryptocurrency trading and mining over concerns about financial system stability. Now, authorities are exploring ways to internationalize the yuan while maintaining strict regulatory oversight. The State Council, China’s cabinet, will consider and possibly approve a roadmap for expanding the yuan’s use globally later this month. The document will set targets for international use, outline responsibilities for regulators, and define risk prevention measures. First steps taken by Chinese blockchain projects Even as the strategy is being discussed, the Chinese blockchain platform Conflux has already launched a stablecoin backed by the offshore yuan (CNH).  This initiative targets cross-border payments, particularly under the One Belt, One Road program, which could transform payments between Asian, African, and European countries. China has long sought to elevate the yuan to a global reserve currency on par with the U.S. dollar or euro, but tight currency controls and trade surpluses have limited progress.  According to SWIFT, the yuan’s share of global payments fell to 2.89% in May, while the dollar holds 48.46%. RMB’s share as a global payment’s currency.
