A stable coin is a cryptocurrency that is collateralized to the value of an underlying asset, what that underlying asset may vary from coin to coin, which we’ll dive into later in this piece. Many stablecoins are pegged at a 1:1 ratio with certain fiat currencies, such as the US dollar or the Euro, which can be traded on exchanges. Stablecoins are much more fixed than standard cryptocurrencies. Stablecoins were built to be used the way cryptocurrencies were designed — as a simple, stabilized, scalable, and secure means for transactions. After all, most businesses, understandably, aren’t interested in accepting a currency like bitcoin that might tank in value the very next day.The Anchor is a stablecoin cryptocurrency pegged to an inflationary, algorithmic financial index that reflects the long-term growth of the global economy. Unlike fiat currencies that are inconsistent depreciation, data from the World Bank shows that since 1960,  GDP has expanded from $1.3trn to $80.7trn.
The Monetary Measurement Unit (MMU) is Anchor’s algorithmic financial index. The MMU is based on validated data from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, Bloomberg, and other official sources of more than 190 countries over the last 25 years. The MMU is further stabilized with FX indicators from a basket of 16 currencies, and premium sovereign bond yields from 20 of the world’s strongest economies.

Crypto investors have shifted millionaires overnight, only to lose much of their property just weeks next. While that can be inspiring to observe, it also explains bitcoin’s massively unpredictable environment — especially as payment for goods and services. Cryptocurrencies are still in their infancy, and this is even more true with stablecoins. This new form of digital money is again taking shape and has a long way to go before potentially moving maturity. While it is difficult to divine what the future has in store in the continually changing world of blockchain, stablecoins could assist bring cryptocurrencies as a whole to the mainstream. However, it’s still too immature to define success, and the many emerging stablecoins out there will have to test with these new concepts to see what works and what doesn’tAnchor token is designed to preserve purchasing power and steadily enhance monetary value over time.

Anchor token is a stable financial ecosystem comprised of a stablecoin cryptocurrency and a non-flationary, algorithmic index. The index is based on the sustainable, upward trend of global economic growth measuring real world value using financial indicators such as the GDP of more than 190 countries, FX indicators of a basket of 16 currencies, and premium sovereign bond yields.

Anchor’s tokenomics ecosystem is designed to be intrinsically stable with its algorithmic index called the Monetary Measurement Unit (MMU) and a safety-net of six stabilizing mechanisms, which includes a two-token, burn-mint model to ensure stability regardless of market recession, volatility, inflation, and other dynamic economic scenarios.

New stable currencies can’t appear out of thin air. No one will support a universal stable currency launched into circulation by another twenty-year-old. Even the USD, though not collateralized by anything other than the authority of US government today, started with a gold standard.Anchor token is a new cryptocurrency introducing a truly stable peg of value for the first time on the global crypto-market. Anchor is modeled as a two-token systemconsisting of the Anchor token, the system’s currency and payment token, and the Dock Token, the systems utility token that is used to insure system stability.
Anchor is addressing one of the biggest issues in the global economy – how to preserve monetary value over time, stabilize the value of any given currency, lower its volatility and prevent devaluation.
Anchor token aims to solve the problem of transparency, liquidity, guarantee and trust on a global scale and thus tackle these burning issues directly, with the introduction of stability facilitated by the purchase of sovereign debt as the backing for the two-token system.
Additionally, Anchor token goes a step further than other cryptos, and proposes a solution for the systemic issue of instability in the financial markets in general. We have devised an innovative and universal monetary value measurement standard, in the form of a proprietary mathematical algorithm – the Monetary Measurement Unit (MMU).

Stablecoin proponents believe this digital asset class is an essential “on-ramp” that will bridge traditional financial markets and decentralized ecosystems. In theory, stablecoins enable institutions to bring off-chain assets into on-chain environments, promoting stronger liquidity and confidence in crypto markets. 2018 research from crypto-event producer Blockshow speaks to this point, identifying stablecoins as a key driver for the rise of securities token offerings (STOs). Anchor token is designed to preserve purchasing power and steadily enhance monetary value over time.

Anchor, a two-token, algorithmic stablecoin pegged to the sustainable and predictable growth trend of the global economy, launched beta testing today for the new Anchor Wallet in conjunction with announcing that it will be listed on Liquid by the end of August.

Liquid, a unified, globally-sourced trading platform that bridges the worlds of fiat and crypto, plans to list Anchor’s stablecoin (ANCT) on their exchange, being the first to offer crypto traders, investors, and enthusiasts the opportunity to purchase, trade, and sell the first algorithmic stablecoin pegged to the global economy. With over $50 billion USD transactions in the last 12 months, Liquid will be the first platform to list ANCT.

Anchor is a stablecoin cryptocurrency pegged to a non-flationary, algorithmic index that reflects the long-term growth of the global economy. The Monetary Measurement Unit (MMU) algorithm is based on the GDP of more than 190 countries and further stabilized with FX indicators from a basket of eight currencies, and premium sovereign bond yields from 10 of the world’s strongest economies.

Offering the stablecoin market an alternative to fiat-pegged stablecoins, Anchor’s tokenomics ecosystem is designed to be intrinsically stable with its MMU and safety-net of six stabilizing mechanisms, including a two-token, burn-mint model to ensure stability and equilibrium regardless of market growth or recession. CEO Daniel Popa, a serial telecom and software entrepreneur with over 20 years experience running successful multinational companies, has led a team of PhD economists in developing Anchor’s proprietary MMU.

Anchor’s network of partners includes Ambisafe, blockchain infrastructure provider that previously worked with Tether; as well as KYC Spider, a digital KYC compliance tool for financial intermediaries and the fintech industry.

A two-token, algorithmic stablecoin, Anchor is pegged to global economic growth via the Monetary Measurement Unit (MMU). The MMU is a non-flationary financial index created by an algorithm that tracks a series of macroeconomic indicators to provide the most accurate, available measure of real value that exists in the world today.

Anchor’s two-token model consists of Anchor Tokens (ANCT), that serve as the main currency/payment tokens; and Dock Tokens (DOCT), the utility tokens that stabilize the currency ensuring ANCT remains pegged to the MMU, regardless of external market fluctuations. DOCT cannot be used as a means of payment, transferred between token users, nor traded on an exchange. DOCT can only be purchased during a Contraction Phase and will be automatically converted to ANCT either after their respective waiting periods, or when an Expansion Phase occurs. Anchor’s elastic currency supply is regulated by the Contraction and Expansion stabilizing mechanisms through which Anchor’s system programmatically buys and sells, as well as burns and mints tokens in order to maintain ANCT’s price in equilibrium with the MMU.

Anchor also recently released its new Anchor Wallet in beta. The Anchor Wallet is a stable and secure store of value providing ease of liquidity at any point in time by using the wallet’s transfer feature to any Ethereum wallet address. Anchor Wallet users can purchase ANCT with any fiat currency or major cryptocurrencies including BTC, ETH, USDT, and USDC. Currently in beta testing, crypto enthusiasts with trading experience who can contribute to improving the user experience are welcome to apply by visiting theanchor.io/wallet.

To celebrate its launch on the Liquid exchange, as well as the release of the Anchor Wallet, and other exciting project developments, the Anchor team will be co-hosting #AnchoredInAsia, a networking event and panel discussion with crypto influencer Michael Nye on the sidelines of Invest: Asia 2019 in Singapore on September 12th, 7-9pm. The panel will feature blockchain and crypto thought leaders offering insight on the topic of “Crypto Beyond Trading,” which will be recorded and aired on Michael Nye’s Evolvement Podcast. Guests will enjoy complimentary drinks and floating canapés, as well as be eligible for an airdrop of 50 ANCT.
