Three parties will develop stable tokens

All three parties to collaborate in developing stable tokens for Asian markets
A type of cryptocurrency pegged to and/or backed by underlying real-world assets, stable tokens can be used to pay for a variety of transactions priced in SGD
29th September 2021, NULS is pleased to announce a collaboration with OxPay and veriTAG. Three parties will develop stable tokens — known as CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currencies) — for the Asian markets.
Through the partnership, NULS will build the public blockchain infrastructure, veriTAG will set up the merchant and digital wallet ecosystem, while OxPay will be responsible for payments settlement, as well as the required Singapore licenses, which include merchant acquiring, domestic and cross-border money transfer.
NULS, OxPay, and veriTAG will also work together to develop stable tokens, which can be used to pay for purchases priced in Singapore dollars. Stable tokens are a type of cryptocurrency pegged to and/or backed by underlying real-world assets, which can include fiat money, commodities or even another cryptocurrency. Transactions using stable tokens include properties, digital art auctions or NFTs (non-fungible tokens), as well as e-commerce. For example, cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and Bitcoin can be used to purchase Singapore dollar stable tokens, which, in turn, can be used to buy both physical and digital assets.
The benefits of using stable tokens include safety and security with online transactions, as well as the ability to tap into the burgeoning global cryptocurrency market. The value of all cryptocurrencies in existence — or the total cryptocurrency market capitalization — peaked in May 2021 at about US$2.4 trillion, up from around US$200 billion in 2019.
