The growth in popularity of
stablecoins at poker rooms, casinos and casinos has truly been phenomenal to watch. While online gamblers in countries like the United States of America loved that their bitcoin deposits and withdrawals couldn't be blocked as they could be with debit and credit cards, they hated the price volatility. For example, if they withdrew $1,000 worth of bitcoin from a poker room and didn't sell it on an exchange like Coinbase immediately, their $1,000 would easily be worth just $800 the following day if the price of bitcoin plummeted.
Real money poker players in the USA have flocked to
stablecoins like Binance USD, Tether and USD Coin because...
- Stablecoins are designed to maintain a stable value, which makes them less volatile than other cryptocurrencies. This stability makes them more attractive to poker players and gamblers in general who are looking for a more predictable way of moving money.
- Like other cryptocurrencies, stablecoins can be transferred quickly and cheaply across borders without the need for intermediaries like banks. This means that US-based gamblers can easily deposit funds at poker rooms and bookmakers based in gambling-friendly jurisdictions like Panama and Antigua.
- Stablecoins are based on blockchain technology, which means that they are decentralized and not controlled by any central authority. This makes it nearly impossible for the United States government to stop poker players from depositing at their favourite real-money poker site.
