a16z Says “Stablecoins” May Not Stand The Test Of Time

Published by

Research from Andreessen Horowitz crypto suggests the term “stablecoin” could lose relevance as the space matures. What began as a tool to reduce volatility is now standard, with stability no longer the key differentiator. These assets are rapidly becoming essential financial rails, powering instant global payments, real-time settlement, and direct ownership. The bigger shift is toward programmable money, where value moves like software, likely leading to new terms such as digital dollars or on-chain currencies.
