Are USDT and USDC safe to use?

While USDT and USDC are the largest stablecoins, they aren’t without risk. Their value is tied to the assets backing them, and there’s always a risk of a ‘de-peg’ if those reserves are insufficient. Diversification and careful risk assessment are crucial.

What does it mean for a stablecoin to be ‘backed’?

Being ‘backed’ means the stablecoin issuer claims to hold enough assets (like US dollars or US Treasury bonds) to redeem each stablecoin if holders request it. Transparency about these reserves is key, but often lacking.

Could India ban USDT and USDC?

While a complete ban is possible, it’s more likely that India will regulate stablecoins as securities, bringing them under SEBI’s control and imposing stricter compliance requirements.
