The hype of tokenizing real world assets — a Swiss stablecoin use case

Stablecoins are essential to cryptocurrency markets, and traditional payment systems, especially cross-border ones, can also benefit from them. Edelcoin sets a new standard for stablecoins, offering low volatility, inflation protection, and zero reserve investment risk. Its verified reserves are 100% locked and secured for EDLC holders only.

Cryptocurrencies provide faster and cheaper transfer of wealth and regain users’ control of their funds. However, the volatile nature of crypto holds back some users and many businesses from integrating it into their financial framework. Instead, organizations and financial services have opted to use stablecoins, nonvolatile cryptocurrencies pegged to a fiat currency such as the dollar or euro, to single precious metals such as gold, or algorithmic-driven, to capitalize on the benefits of crypto sans volatility.

Major stablecoins outperform even Bitcoin (BTC) in terms of daily transaction volume, which is clear evidence of the pivotal role of stablecoins in today’s cryptocurrency market. While fiat currencies stabilize daily transactions, their inflationary characteristics prevent many from using fiat-pegged stablecoins as a hedge.

Is there anything better than fiat-pegged stablecoins? The answer lies in tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) that have been used for as long as humanity has engaged in business. Blockchain has enabled asset tokenization, providing the means to convert real-world assets, such as precious metals, real estate, and even intellectual property, into digital assets. This quickly became one of the fastest-growing subsectors of the crypto industry.

The tokenization of illiquid assets is expected to become a $16 trillion market by 2030.
