Writer’s Report:
Ergo’s stablecoin intends to change the stablecoin trend by convincing investors of the safety and benefits of investing in stablecoins. Following the crashes of UST and LUNA, people have begun to steer clear of stablecoins. However, efforts like Ergo’s SigUSD add even more importance to the fight to get stablecoin back into the market as soon as feasible. With so many competitions, such as BUSD, USDC, and USDT, it’s up to investors to decide what’s best for them, ignoring the technical aspects of these cryptos.
