Crypto and Digital Assets
Blockchain technology and crypto economics will transform the way we do business on the internet and across multiple industries. At Plug and Play Crypto, we look forward to accelerating enterprise-level adoption and bridging the gap between web2 and web3.
Focus Areas
Stablecoin Adoption
Stablecoins – cryptocurrencies pegged to an underlying asset – have emerged as a leading crypto use-case by providing global access to the world’s strongest fiat currencies. Businesses adopting stablecoins get all the benefits of crypto without the volatility: lower fees, secure transactions, and instant cross-border payments.
Decentralized Finance
By making units of value – stocks, bonds, real estate, currencies, etc – interoperable, programmable, and composable on blockchains, capital markets will become more efficient and accessible to everyone on the planet. We are seeing the creation of novel asset classes and business opportunities.
Crypto Economics
Tokens create opportunities for innovation in capital formation and human coordination that extend beyond the digital world and into the physical. Crypto-economic systems are enhancing access to core commodities like file storage and decentralized wireless – and the business benefits are significant.
Enterprise Blockchain
Enterprise blockchains are networks designed for large companies and organizations. They retain core benefits of blockchains, such as efficiency and immutability, but tweak the underlying permissions to help businesses with data safety, faster transactions, and better supply chain management.
