Into the book
Stablecoins solve the problem of price volatility by pegging their value to fiat currencies like the dollar or Korean won, while maintaining the decentralized and efficient characteristics of blockchain.
In other words, a 'commercial digital currency' was born that combines the advantages of P2P networks with the stability of traditional currency.
--- p.44
Central banks around the world, alarmed by the rapid growth of private stablecoins, are accelerating the development of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). While CBDCs, issued and guaranteed directly by the government, offer advantages over private stablecoins in terms of stability and trustworthiness, they also raise concerns about potential government control and privacy violations.
On the other hand, stablecoins symbolize private bottom-up innovation and autonomy, providing an innovative playground that enables the development of free financial services on an open blockchain.
--- p.62
As of 2025, Binance is expected to have over 200 million members.
As Binance grew, USDT gained an edge over other stablecoins.
Binance's global user base spans across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, making USDT an alternative to the digital dollar in environments where access to fiat currency is limited.
--- p.89
The Trump administration's shift toward stablecoins has benefited USDC and Circle tremendously.
Circle, which has previously demonstrated a regulatory-friendly stance, has obtained the first 'US Federal Stablecoin License' based on the Genius Act.
This soon led to market confidence, and USDC began to serve as a de facto substitute for the US digital dollar.
--- p.104
With Tether already dominating the stablecoin market and Circle solidifying its position as the second-largest player, there's reason to believe RLUSD could also grow rapidly.
This is because Ripple Labs has recently been actively strengthening its relationship with the US political world.
In particular, continued contact with President Trump is a factor that further increases the possibility of RLUSD's future expansion.
--- p.117
In July 2025, the U.S. House of Representatives finally passed the so-called "Digital Asset Trifecta": the GENIUS Act, the Digital Asset Clarification Act, and the CBDC Ban Act.
This is considered a historic event that heralds a major turning point not only for the United States but also for the entire global digital asset industry.
The most notable law is undoubtedly the Genius Law.
This is the first federal law to formally recognize stablecoins as a form of financial infrastructure and systematically regulate their issuance conditions, reserve requirements, issuer licensing system, and debt priority in the event of insolvency.
This gives the United States legal legitimacy and regulatory clarity to a private currency ecosystem based on the digital dollar, and opens a genuine connection between institutional finance and stablecoins.
--- p.152
The reason even large distribution companies are experimenting with stablecoins is to secure new financial competitiveness suited to the digital age.
In the United States, with related legislation becoming more visible, corporate stablecoins are aiming to establish themselves within the institutional system.
As regulations become clearer in the future, other platform companies, such as Apple and Google, are expected to jump into issuing their own stablecoins or payment tokens.
This means that stablecoins are emerging as game-changers that go beyond mere fintech fads and are transforming the business models of traditional companies.
--- p.236~237
We are now at a fundamental turning point, beyond mere technological innovation, in the economic order and trust structure.
The central bank's monopoly on currency issuance, the payment infrastructure mediated by banks, and the human-centered financial system are undergoing a complete restructuring with the digital transformation.

Publisher's Review
Bitcoin is eventually
It was a prelude to stablecoins.
It has been 16 years since Bitcoin was introduced to the world.
Initially untrusted by anyone, this virtual currency now boasts a price of over 100 million won per 1 BTC, solidifying its position as the root of digital financial innovation.
Bitcoin not only survived on its own, but also gave rise to numerous derivative coins, including Ethereum, ushering in the era of digital assets.
So why does the world crave another currency? Was there something that Bitcoin and countless other cryptocurrencies couldn't solve? How could stablecoins be the answer? What is the ultimate currency, stablecoins, and why were they created? Let's explore these questions.
Countries, companies, individuals… …
The singularity of currency that no one can escape
Stablecoins, which burst onto the public scene like a comet, quickly sparked countless misunderstandings and questions.
Some speculated that it would converge as an investment vehicle, as Bitcoin had, while others jumped to the conclusion that it would become a dangerous currency that would cause chaos in central banks around the world.
Indeed, whenever news about stablecoins broke, the stock prices of domestic and international tech and financial companies fluctuated sharply, YouTube's algorithm was flooded with thumbnails featuring provocative keywords, and predictions of dubious origins flooded social media timelines.
However, it is too early to say that these innovations are all there is to stablecoins.
Stablecoins are neither microscopic speculative instruments nor shady assets that destabilize global monetary policy.
Rather, it is closer to the 'ultimate currency' that has evolved to suit the 21st century, where everything is digital.
Unlike existing coins whose value fluctuates, it maintains stability by being pegged 1:1 to fiat currency. In addition, it overcomes the limitations of traditional finance, which has caused numerous inconveniences due to fees and time restrictions, and is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, worldwide.
"An innovative currency that combines the best of digital assets and traditional finance." This is the true nature of stablecoins, coveted by everyone from powerful governments to big tech giants.
“Just as we can’t go back to a world without Bitcoin,
“There’s no going back to a world without stablecoins.”
To deeply analyze the digital currency revolution that is rapidly becoming a reality, experts with extensive experience in blockchain, finance, fintech, and digital asset industries have gathered together to publish "Stablecoins: Money Reset."
From the latest developments in the cryptocurrency ecosystem to the bigger picture of the international situation, the trends of "stablecoin giants" like Tether and Circle, and even the outlook for won-denominated stablecoins, this book is compiled into a single, comprehensive bible.
If you need insight and sharp diagnosis, armed with facts, rather than the rumors and groundless speculations circulating in the media, open this book now.
We have already entered the post-stablecoin era.
This new standard, like Bitcoin, is evolving by the second, reshaping our daily lives and financial lives.
What remains is a single question that runs through nations, corporations, and individuals.
Will you boldly advance and become a leader in the new world, or will you be a latecomer who observes? The choice is yours.
