Num Finance Launches nCOP Stablecoin on Polygon Network
Num Finance, an Argentine fintech company, has launched nCOP, a stablecoin linked to the Colombian Peso and built on the Polygon network. The project received backing from a pre-seed round worth $1.5 million, led by investors such as Reserve and Ripio Ventures.
Key Points:
- Num Finance targets the Colombian market due to its status as one of the largest local markets.
- nCOP aims to “tokenize” remittances and offer a yield to users based on regulated financial products.
- nCOP provides yields of 8% to companies that choose the stablecoin over traditional remittance methods.
- Num Finance plans to expand its stablecoin offerings to include currencies such as the Mexican peso, Brazilian real, and Bahraini dinar.
- Competition may arise from the Colombian central bank’s exploration of launching an XRPL-based stablecoin in collaboration with Ripple and Peersyst Technology.
Hot Take:
Num Finance’s launch of nCOP on the Polygon network highlights the growing trend of companies issuing stablecoins pegged to native currencies. By targeting the Colombian market, Num Finance aims to provide an alternative method of remittance and yield generation. However, competition may arise from the potential launch of a homegrown Peruvian stablecoin. The success of nCOP and future stablecoin offerings will depend on the adoption and acceptance of these digital assets in the respective markets.
