Stablecoins present an opportunity to disrupt the traditional finance system. Programmable money presents a new paradigm of blockchain financial primitives, where one can hold dollar backed stablecoins that earn yield in decentralized protocols and traditional markets along with near-instant global settlement capabilities. Our vision is to create a product that exists alongside traditional and new financial systems that taps into the yield, global remittance, and financial instruments present in the blockchain ecosystem.

The more value we share with our users, the more value we will ultimately create. We are shepherds in a complex world, and we will do everything we can to protect our users from risk without taking away their personal freedoms.
