Crypto security analyst and Paradigm adviser ZachXBT said the circulation of stablecoins from major issuers such as Circle, Tether and Paxos should be a key metric in assessing the legitimacy of blockchain networks.
His comments followed US President Donald Trump’s announcement on March 2 that certain digital assets would be included in the country’s strategic crypto reserves. Trump identified Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), XRP (XRP), Solana (SOL) and Cardano (ADA) as the assets to be included in the reserves.
