Today, stablecoins are the crucial link between the real world and the crypto-sphere. They help users park their funds in high volatility and are the most cost-efficient way to conduct cross-border transactions without intermediaries or delays securely.

Transak, a global fiat-to-crypto payments infrastructure provider, has partnered with Opera’s MiniPay, a leading dollar stablecoin wallet built on the Celo blockchain. This collaboration expands MiniPay's ability to offer seamless on- and off-ramping of stablecoins — Celo Dollar (cUSD), Tether USD (USDT), and USD Coin (USDC) — in over 50 countries, with a wider range of local payment methods.

At the time of writing, there are over 100 stablecoins. In the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap alone, two positions are occupied by stablecoins, and five positions in the top 50.

Transak, one of the leaders in Web3 payments infrastructure, has listed PayPal’s stablecoin, PayPal USD (PYUSD). This enables Transak users the ability to buy PYUSD using their preferred local payment methods.

If you're someone looking for crypto assets with minimal volatility, stablecoins are a good option to consider. These digital assets might help to get you a peaceful sleep without the need to worry about the crypto market price fluctuations.
