Hey Annie, guess what?
Visa, the financial services giant, just launched a new tool to provide the public with more accurate data on key stablecoin activities.
Isn't that cool?๐
Oh really?
That's interesting.
So, what exactly does this tool do?๐ค
Well, it's called the Visa Onchain Analytics Dashboard.
It's a public resource for stablecoin transaction data.
It shows relevant metrics like stablecoin supply, transaction volume and monthly active users for USDC, Tether (USDT), Paypal USD (PYUSD) and Pax Dollar (USDP) across five layer-1 and four layer-2 blockchains.
Wow, that sounds like a lot of data!
But why did Visa decide to create this tool?๐ง
Great question!
Visa's head of crypto, Cuy Sheffield, explained that they wanted to develop a new methodology for tracking stablecoins because of noisy data arising from transactions that can be initiated manually by an end user or programmatically through bots.
So they partnered with Allium Labs to create this tool.
Hmm...so it's like they're trying to filter out the noise and provide more accurate data?
That sounds useful.
But how exactly does it work?๐ค
Exactly!
They've created an adjusted transaction volume methodology that combines a single directional volume filter that removes redundant internal transactions of a smart contract with an inorganic user filter that only counts volume from addresses that have made less than $1,000 transactions and less than $10 million in volume over the last 30 days to attempt to remove bot activity.
Wow, that sounds pretty complex.
But I can see how it would be useful for getting a clearer picture of stablecoin activity.๐ฎ
Absolutely!
And the best part is, this Onchain Analytics Dashboard can be accessed by anyone to better understand how fiat-backed stablecoins are moving across blockchain networks globally, and demonstrate the volumes and participants involved in the process.
That's really cool!
So, is this good news or bad news for the market?๐ค
Definitely good news!
This tool will provide more transparency and accuracy in the crypto market, which could potentially attract more investors and boost confidence in stablecoins.
So yeah, it's a big win for everyone!๐
To sum up, this article is considered a ๐Bullish for investors!!
