An unprecedented Canadian dollar Stablecoin has settled for advancement, B2B transactions, and payment gateways in the Canadian crypto space appreciating at a good pace.
An industry which issues and manages the Canadian Dollar Stablecoin, Stablecorp has delightedly announced partnership with Algorand, with the motive of launching the digital asset on the Algorand Blockchain, the leading scalable, secure and decentralized blockchain network.
This integration will continually develop the fiat-backed Stablecoin capability on Algorand as Stablecorp is being awarded an Algorand foundation Grant. QCAD is the first non-USD backed Stablecoin to be issued on Algorand Blockchain.
About QCAD
QCAD is the first fully-compliant, mass market CAD stablecoin and it is currently supported by more than 22 different ecosystem partners, with exchanges, custodians, payment providers, DEXs included. Following the official launch of QCAD on Ethereum, Stablecorp’s new implementation on Algorand gives room for the possibility for more mainstream use cases requiring higher-throughout and an improved transaction speed.
The CEO of Stablecorp, Jean Deagagne said, as they begin to expand the use cases that will begin to bring wider adoption of QCAD, it is critical for them to have a robust and secure high throughput infrastructure. He added that they believe leveraging Algorand’s blockchain and its growing ecosystem will help then explore and scale new enterprise and consumer implementations.
Algorand is trusted to provide instant confirmation, micro payments and automatic wallet support for the newly supported QCAD token. Also, this implementation on Algorand is seen as a landmark as it will allow for the first synthetic-FX trading pair between a US Dollar Stablecoin and a Canadian Dollar Stablecoin on the Algorand blockchain.
The CEO of the Algorand Foundation, Sean Lee said, The Algorand Foundation is delighted that Stablecorp has chosen to launch QCAD on Algorand. He added that the global scale and speed of the Algorand protocol will enable the high transaction volumes that will facilitate new and innovative consumer innovation using QCAD.
