Project description:
Stablecoins are digital currencies that peg their value to other assets, most often the U.S.-Dollar but also other fiat currencies or physical assets such as gold. They exhibit a significant importance in cryptocurrency markets and are becoming increasingly relevant for other markets and applications This has sparked the interest of researchers across disciplines. The research project will use qualitative and quantitative approaches to explore the relevance, challenges, significance, and future of stablecoins. The results should contribute to the understanding and a positive development of stablecoins.
We delve into various aspects of the open metaverse, including digital real estate (e.g., LAND), where users can buy, sell, and develop virtual land; avatars, which represent users’ digital personas; and NFTs (non-fungible tokens), which enable the creation, ownership, and trade of unique digital assets. By examining these elements, we aim to better understand the potential opportunities and challenges posed by the metaverse and provide insights into how an open and inclusive metaverse can foster creativity, collaboration, and equitable participation for all stakeholders.
