AI's Reshaping of the Stablecoin Landscape: Building the Foundation of a New Economy
Stablecoins, as a core infrastructure in the cryptocurrency field, are of great importance. They provide investors with a stable unit of value storage and are a key element in building various applications such as exchanges, perpetual contracts, and money markets.
