Enhanced stability for crypto traders

The launch of EURQ and USDQ provides Kraken users with stablecoin options that are designed to minimize volatility, an essential feature for those engaging in global transactions and digital asset trading. According to Quantoz, the issuer of these stablecoins, EURQ and USDQ are backed 1:1 with fiat reserves, ensuring high liquidity and reliability.

Users can trade EURQ and USDQ against major cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), and fiat currencies such as the euro (EUR) and U.S. dollar (USD). Kraken’s inclusion of these assets aims to attract traders seeking predictable value transfer methods within the ever-fluctuating cryptocurrency landscape.

Why stablecoins matter

Quantoz USDQ (USDQ ) is a US dollar-linked stablecoin designed to provide fast, secure, and low-cost digital transactions. 

Stablecoins like EURQ and USDQ play an increasingly vital role in bridging the gap between traditional finance and decentralized systems. They are commonly used for remittances, payments, and hedging strategies within crypto markets. Kraken’s support for Quantoz stablecoins underscores the platform’s commitment to expanding its asset offerings to meet diverse user needs.

Quantoz stablecoins comply with stringent regulatory standards, further strengthening their appeal to institutional and retail investors. This alignment with financial regulations ensures seamless usability across multiple jurisdictions, enhancing adoption prospects.

As Kraken continues to expand its offerings, the introduction of EURQ and USDQ highlights the growing importance of stablecoins in fostering financial inclusion and enhancing crypto market stability. The launch also raises expectations for future collaborations between crypto platforms and traditional financial institutions.
