Tether Debuts CNH₮, a Yuan-Backed Stablecoin on Ethereum
Apr 29, 2024 at 04:00 am
Tether has launched its Chinese yuan-backed stablecoin, CNH₮, built on the Ethereum blockchain as an ERC-20 token and collateralized with offshore yuan. The new stablecoin expands Tether's capabilities in facilitating the digital use of traditional currencies, including US dollar (USDT) and euro (EURT).
Tether Unveils Yuan-Backed Stablecoin, CNH₮, on Ethereum Blockchain
Tether, the leading issuer of stablecoins, has officially launched CNH₮, a new stablecoin pegged to the Chinese yuan. The stablecoin operates as an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain, utilizing offshore yuan reserves as collateral.
In a brief announcement published on Monday, Tether stated that CNH₮ expands its capabilities in facilitating the digitalization of traditional currencies, alongside its existing offerings of USDT (U.S. dollar-backed) and EURT (euro-backed) stablecoins.
The launch of CNH₮ follows earlier reports in late August indicating Tether's plans to introduce a stablecoin linked to the yuan, also known as the renminbi. Zhao Dong, an over-the-counter (OTC) trader and shareholder in Tether's affiliate exchange Bitfinex, expressed optimism that a yuan-backed stablecoin could enhance the circulation of the Chinese currency.
Although Tether has disclosed a smart contract address for CNH₮, specific details about the stablecoin remain limited. The announcement did not specify which exchanges would list the token, although Dong previously stated that his company, RenrenBit, would provide support.
Additionally, the precise location of the yuan reserves backing CNH₮ is yet to be confirmed, though Dong indicated in August that the funds would be stored in a bank in Belgium.
Tether has been contacted for further clarification on these matters. Updates will be provided as new information becomes available.
The launch of CNH₮ marks a significant development in the stablecoin landscape, expanding the availability of fiat-backed digital assets for global use. The Chinese yuan, as one of the world's leading currencies, is likely to attract significant interest in this new stablecoin offering.
As with all stablecoins, the success of CNH₮ will depend heavily on maintaining the stability of its peg to the yuan and ensuring the transparency and reliability of its reserves. Tether's reputation as a reputable stablecoin issuer will play a crucial role in fostering confidence in the new token.
