Everything you Need to Know About Stablecoins

In a continent where currency depreciation, high remittance fees, and financial exclusion continue to limit financial freedom, a new form of money is taking root: digital dollars better known as stablecoins.

Whether you are trying to save money without losing value, get paid from overseas, or trade without volatility, stablecoins like USDT and USDC are changing how Africans interact with money. And with platforms like Apex Network, anyone can now trade and store these digital dollars securely, without needing a foreign bank account.

Here is everything you need to know about this new money revolution.

What Are Digital Dollars (Stablecoins)?

Digital dollars are cryptocurrencies pegged to real-world currency, typically the U.S. dollar. The most popular ones include:

  • USDT (Tether)
  • USDC (USD Coin)
  • BUSD (Binance USD)

Each of these is built to maintain a 1:1 value with the U.S. dollar. That means ₦1,500 in USDT today is ₦1,500 in value tomorrow, something the naira (or many other African currencies) can’t always guarantee.

Why Should You Care?

Let’s paint some real-world scenarios:

You are a freelancer

Your client in the U.S. wants to pay you in crypto. You can receive USDT directly, convert to naira on Apex Network, and withdraw it with no delays, no dollar scarcity.

You want to save securely

You are tired of watching your money lose value in naira savings. You convert to USDC and store it in your Apex Network wallet. No inflation, no loss.

You want to trade crypto

You use USDT as your base coin to trade other cryptos like BTC, ETH, or SOL on Apex Network. It’s like trading from a stable starting point.

How Stablecoins Protect You from Currency Risk

Many African currencies (naira, cedi, kwacha) lose 10–40% of their value every year. If you hold money in those currencies, you are losing purchasing power. But stablecoins stay steady.
