SBF hints FTX could potentially create its own stablecoin

FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried hinted that the exchange could create its stablecoin in the “not too distant future” in an Oct. 27 interview with The Big Whale.

According to SBF, the exchange certainly could launch a stablecoin. However, he added that:

“The firm holding off on doing it because I think to some extent collaboration on that can be really powerful. And a lot of that ends with us trying to find the partners we’d be really excited to work with. But I think you’ll probably be hearing something from us on that topic in the not-too-distant future.”

FTX is one of the major crypto exchanges without its stablecoin. Bankman-Fried highlighted this in a recent tweet where he stated that the Second Great Stablecoin War had begun after Binance-backed BUSD supply began to grow.

SBF continued that the stablecoins now generate more revenue with positive interest rates and that issuers have realized the importance of allowing redemption to maintain their stablecoin’s stability.

The crypto billionaire added:

“It’ll be interesting to see what emerges from the non-fiat-backed-stablecoin space, post-Luna, and post-DAI-holding-USDC.”
