The Bigger Picture of WCA Crypto-Backed IPO
Companies in different sectors of the market are now understanding the fact that the use of the latest technologies including blockchain technology will put them ahead of their competitors. Blockchain technology has many uses that are bound to boom in the next few years, particularly in the cryptocurrency industry.
Despite the challenges involved with dealing with digital assets including possible scams and cyber attacks, they promise to revolutionize our financial system in a great way.
Notably, WCA crypto IPO has coincided with the ongoing crypto volatility that has seen most assets rally in the past few days. The increased volatility is an aspect that can bring unprecedented chaos during an IPO if not properly managed. However, thanks to the development of stablecoins, the volatility issue was completely eradicated.
The stablecoin industry, which has tremendously grown in the past few months has experienced a huge demand globally. According to the metrics provided by CoinGecko, the stablecoin industry has a market capitalization of $24,816,940,078 with its past 24-hour trading volume at $78,736,340,870. Notably, its past 24-hour trading volume is much higher than Ethereum and Bitcoin trading volumes.
This is a clear indication of the huge demand for stablecoins in the global market.
