After Facebook's<\/a> Libra<\/a>, it seems likely that other major brands like Amazon, Delta, and T-Mobile will create their own stablecoins<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Stablecoins of the future<\/h2>\n

The coming years will see the advent of the second generation of stablecoins. These \u201cbranded\u201d stablecoins would not only employ the fundamental aspects of price stability and blockchain technology used by today\u2019s stablecoins, but also include loyalty program integration, secondary-market liquidity, and branding opportunities.<\/p>\n

Companies adopting their own branded stablecoins could benefit from lower transaction costs, stable interest income from a fiat reserve, and a more streamlined loyalty program. With stablecoins becoming a viable competitor in the multi-billion or multi-trillion-dollar markets of remittance, retail payments, and cross-border transactions, the stablecoin industry itself could become a trillion-dollar industry within the next decade.<\/p>\n

How Businesses Can Benefit From Stablecoins<\/h2>\n

Credit card processing fees across major credit card companies such as Visa, MasterCard, and AmEx average about\u00a02 percent per transaction<\/a>. Because of this, many smaller businesses charge customers more for credit card purchases, prohibit the use of certain cards with higher fees, or even take cash only.<\/p>\n

For businesses with large user bases like Walmart, which in 2018 had\u00a0275 million visiting customers per week<\/a>, these processing fees add up to a lot of lost revenue: with\u00a0$514 billion of net sales<\/a>\u00a0in the 2019 fiscal year, processing fees averaging 2 percent will cost Walmart cost over $10 billion annually.<\/p>\n

However, these high costs of transaction can be circumvented through the use of stablecoins, providing value for both businesses and customers. Customers will no longer have to be charged extra fees by businesses for paying with their credit card or be forced to pay with cash. And on the flipside, businesses will be able to save on processing fees and would no longer need to go through the complicated effort of optimizing their transaction costs with a myriad of payment companies and services. Because stablecoins are based on blockchain technology, transactions using stablecoins are immutable by nature, meaning there is no chargeback risk for the merchant.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
\n

In addition, stablecoins can improve companies\u2019 loyalty programs. For loyalty programs, convenience is key. But, with so many companies offering loyalty programs already, the customer\u2019s loyalty program experience as a whole is extremely inconvenient. Customers carry a mess of loyalty cards, lining wallet pockets in rows and rows. It becomes cumbersome to check on existing rewards and figure out if it is worth staying loyal to a company.<\/p>\n

In today\u2019s oversaturated market of loyalty programs, companies that spend more on loyalty grow at\u00a0the same rate or slightly slower<\/a> than those that do not. This is where stablecoin integration comes in. By building loyalty programs on top of a company\u2019s \u201cbranded\u201d stablecoin, loyalty becomes directly integrated into the user experience. Users could easily check their balances of their stablecoins and their loyalty rewards on a single app, doing away with inconvenient rewards cards. Stablecoin integration with loyalty programs makes for convenient customer experience in a saturated loyalty marketplace where convenience is key.<\/p>\n

Future generations of stablecoins<\/h2>\n

The first generation of stablecoins (in the context of fiat-backed tokens) are the ones that exist today, such as USDS, PAX, USDC, and USDT. These Gen 1 stablecoins employ the fundamental aspects of stablecoin technology: a stable price and the use blockchain technology. The most popular and proven Gen 1 stablecoins maintain a fixed price by using a fiat reserve to exchange their stablecoin to their fiat currency of choice, usually the U.S. dollar.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
\n

The second generation of stablecoins will likely be developed in the next few years, having the Gen 1 fundamentals of stablecoins but with further advantages. These Gen 2 stablecoins will have features built-in such as privacy, rewards, interest, credit, and so on. They will fully make use of the fact that stablecoins are a programmable currency, and thus can be added to with utilities relevant to their various use cases, including payment, remittance, and stores of value.<\/p>\n

The third generation of stablecoins, Gen 3, will become a staple of the payment economy. Gen 3 stablecoins will be basket tokens, combining Gen 1, Gen 2, and even other Gen 3 stablecoins to combine the utilities of the individual tokens. In the future, different stablecoins will serve specialized needs and niches, so Gen 3 stablecoins would be able to bundle specialized stablecoins into one token, creating a product serving the intersection of different specializations. For example, there might be an e-commerce meta-stablecoin that combines several Gen 2 stablecoins together from Amazon, eBay, and Shopify, etc.<\/p>\n

Why Gen 2 stablecoins will dominate the future economy<\/h2>\n

The ability of cryptocurrencies to be an anonymous, borderless store of value has proven itself to be a real-world necessity for millions. In Venezuela, people cannot flee the country with their fiat money. They cannot send it internationally through their banks and they cannot physically carry their money with them, as it would be seized from them at the border.<\/p>\n

As such, Venezuelans have turned<\/a> to Bitcoin<\/a>. From 2014 to 2016, the number of Venezuelan Bitcoin users\u00a0rose from 450 to over 85,000<\/a>. However, while Bitcoin may be a good store of value compared to the Venezuelan bol\u00edvar, Bitcoin is still extremely volatile, and when families put their life savings into it to leave the country, Bitcoin\u2019s volatility can cause them to lose a lot.<\/p>\n

As more people learn about and adopt Bitcoin in Venezuela, more people will discover stablecoins and take advantage of the aptitude they have as a store of value. It is only a matter of time before stablecoin adoption comes, and adoption in Venezuela could be the catalyst for more and more people hearing about and using stablecoins.<\/p>\n

As the stablecoin market grows, so too will stablecoin technology. Gen 2 stablecoins with pertinent features will start being developed en masse. From there, it will take only a few companies to integrate stablecoin payment for many others to join them; blockchain technology has a connotation of risk, but there are many empirical benefits to stablecoins integration, and once the first few companies succeed, many others will follow.<\/p>\n

The future of the stablecoin industry<\/h2>\n

The story of cryptocurrencies is one of astronomical growth, with cryptocurrency being the best-performing asset class in numerous recent years. In just over ten years, cryptocurrency has developed into an industry with over\u00a0$250 billion in market capitalization, and with the current pace of technological innovation, the crypto industry is only set to grow further. Stablecoins will expand within this growing cryptocurrency market, but they will also capture market share from the remittance and payment industries.<\/p>\n

According to the World Bank, global remittance inflow in 2018 amounted to an estimated\u00a0$700 billion dollars<\/a>. Most migrant workers in Asia\u00a0send home<\/a> approximately $200 monthly, but they must pay<\/a> $12 in international transfer fees\u2013half a day\u2019s wages gone for many. There are already an array of blockchain solutions being developed to address the remittance issue, but in coming years, stablecoins will become the winning solution because of low transaction costs and price stability across any period of time. Once the dissemination of stablecoin technology inevitably occurs, stablecoins could become a dominant player in the $600 billion remittance industry.<\/p>\n

\n

Global remittance volume is on the rise<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

Within the next ten years, stablecoins could also enter the $100 trillion payments industry because of their use in retail payments and cross-border payments. Within the retail space, many company\u2019s loyalty programs are failing, and since 2002 companies that focused more on loyalty programs\u00a0grew in revenue at a rate 20 percent slower<\/a>\u00a0than companies that focused less on loyalty.<\/p>\n

Companies with failing loyalty programs need innovation and reliable methods of collecting data through their loyalty programs, both of which are problems that loyalty-integrated stablecoins help with. Retail payments are a\u00a0$25 trillion dollar sector<\/a>\u00a0of the overall payment industry, and Gen 2 stablecoins with retail-relevant features could conceivably gain a large portion of market share due to the features discussed in the first section.<\/p>\n

\n

Stablecoins have fewer transaction fees than traditional payment processors<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>
<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of the biggest limiting factors today for cryptocurrency to expand in the\u00a0$25 trillion cross-border payments industry<\/a>\u00a0is not the technology, but rather a lack of awareness, a stigma of volatility surrounding cryptocurrencies and entrenched special interest groups.<\/p>\n

Stablecoins, though, are inherently risk-free and stable, so it would be easier for risk-averse banks to adopt stablecoins as potential cross-border payment solutions. In total, the market for remittance, retail, and cross-border payments is\u00a0more than $50 trillion<\/a>, and given that it is likely that in the next ten years stablecoins could take market share from existing financial institutions within these industries, 2030 could very well see a multi-trillion dollar stablecoin industry.<\/p>\n

Today, the stablecoin industry is still small relative to the cryptocurrency space as a whole, and the industry is dominated by Tether<\/a>, which has ten times the market capitalization of the next biggest stablecoin, USD Coin<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, as the stablecoin market matures, market capitalization will become more evenly distributed among stablecoins. There were\u00a0193 stablecoin projects announced<\/a> in 2018, compared to 81 total projects announced in years before. With more players entering the stablecoin market and greater technological innovation, Tether will inevitably give up much of its market share to its competitors, especially with its decline in reputability<\/a> over the years.<\/p>\n

In April 2019, the office of the New York Attorney General alleged that iFinex, Tether\u2019s parent company, had\u00a0misused $900 million<\/a> of Tether\u2019s cash reserves to hide an $850 million loss. Days later, Tether revealed that it is only\u00a074 percent backed by cash and securities<\/a>, falsifying its previous claims that USDT is backed 1:1 by fiat. Trust in Tether will continue to erode, leaving space for coins that offer more transparency to overtake it.<\/p>\n

In the future, there could be hundreds of stablecoins, each serving the needs of specific markets, such as how today there are hundreds of banks and payment companies that cater to different needs and geographical areas.<\/p>\n
