The digital token, stablecoins possess stability by pegging their value with fiat currencies, preventing high volatility. Tech Mahindra signifies that ‘stablecoins also enable enhanced functionalities like IoT (Internet of Things) payments, micropayments, programmable payments, and cross spending across payment ecosystems’ to boost digital payments.
Rajesh Dhuddu, Blockchain and Cybersecurity Practice Leader, Tech Mahindra, said:
The recent OCC (office of the comptroller of currency) announcement promoting the use of stablecoins for the settlement of financial transactions by banks will spur demand and drive innovation in global payments. Tech Mahindra’s strategic collaboration with Quantoz will enable lower transaction processing costs, bring-in military-grade security and drive faster settlements. Banks can benefit significantly from stablecoins as they will help them compete with Fintech, that are transforming payment systems and prevent exit of customers to other avenues for payments and money remittances.
