Peter Schiff is going to release stablecoin tied to gold

The economist Peter Schiff, who feeds the love of gold, has promised to release the precious metal stabblecoins skeptical in relation to cryptocurrencies.

I understand the meaning of Bitcoin, but I can’t do the mind why stabelcoins attached to the American dollar are needed. If you want to use the services of a third -party provider of castodial services, then why stop your choice on a token based on such flawed fiat currency as a dollar when you can ensure the stability of its price with gold? You will receive the same liquidity and real means of saving capital, ”Schiff wrote.

One of the commentators invited Peter to create his own stablecoin based on gold, and the economist noted that he has such plans. Schiff has experience in developing digital assets because he produced NFT collections in the Bitcoin blockchain, so he can be trusted with his words.

Now in the market of stablecoins tied to the gold rate is dominated by Pax Gold (Paxg) and Tether Gold (Xaut) cryptocurrencies created by Paxos Trust Company and Tether, respectively. Over the past year, their level of capitalization has increased by 69% and reached $ 1.69 billion. The demand for these coins increased amid an increase in the cost of precious metal, which grew by 43% from June 2024.

However, the investor and founder of Alpine Fox LP Mike Alfred considers the purchase of gold, which he calls “physical bitcoin”. Instead of investing money in precious metal and stablecoins based on it, Mike calls on to invest in “digital gold” – bitcoin, which, in his opinion, will rise much more.
