Num Finance Launches nCOP, a Peso-Pegged Stablecoin on Polygon Network

Num Finance, a stablecoin issuer, has announced its latest creation, the nCOP token, in a momentous step that has the potential to alter financial interactions within Colombia. This Colombian peso-pegged token is now available on the Polygon network, enabling smooth and fast financial transactions inside the country. Num Finance’s latest service is backed by reserve assets and is intended to enable consumers and organizations to conduct a variety of financial transactions on blockchain rails.

As the use of stablecoins grows throughout the world, the introduction of nCOP on the Polygon network represents a game-changing possibility for people and companies in Colombia. The over-collateralization technique of the token protects its dependability and stability, allowing users to easily move cash, expedite payments, create revenues, and maintain value using blockchain technology.

Stablecoins, a subset of digital assets worth around $124 billion, have sparked increased interest in places with unstable financial systems, such as Latin America and Turkey. Beyond local applications, these cryptocurrencies may be used for cross-border remittances and as a safe store of wealth, according to a detailed assessment by crypto research firm Chainalysis.

Colombia, recognized as a pivotal hub for remittance inflow within Latin America, is poised to experience the far-reaching impact of Num Finance’s nCOP stablecoin. Agustín Liserra, CEO of Num Finance, underscored the role of nCOP in streamlining remittance processes. “With Colombia receiving nearly USD 10 billion in remittances, Num Finance aims to offer an innovative channel for remittance transfers while also allowing users to earn a yield on their holdings,” Liserra stated.

Num Finance’s foray into Colombia’s financial landscape follows its successful issuance of stablecoins pegged to the Argentine peso and Peruvian sol. The company’s strategic vision entails extending its stablecoin offerings to additional regions, including Brazil, Mexico, and Bahrain, thereby advancing its mission to foster financial inclusivity and efficiency through the power of blockchain technology.
