Rationale
The crypto community in Malaysia is clamouring for a decentralised and censorship-resistant stablecoin denominated in our local currency. MYR is a top 30 fiat by market capitalisation (currently #23, 1 spot behind IDR and 8 spots above PHP). Seeing as the major economies (Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines) in Southeast Asia already have their Terra counterparts, it is apt for Malaysia to have an MYT as well.
Malaysia is Southeast Asia’s 6th largest economy by GDP, and is one of the most open economies in the world according to the World Bank. (Overview: Development news, research, data | World Bank) Crypto adoption ranks 2nd in the world according to the Finder Cryptocurrency Adoption Index. (Nigeria Crypto Adoption Rate Hits 24%, Followed by Malaysia and Australia - BeInCrypto)
Having a Malaysian Terra stablecoin will allow greater participation and adoption from one of the most vibrant crypto communities in the region.
- Provides a direct onboarding experience to crypto and defi for millions of new users
- Allows more dapps use cases for international trade settlement for different Terra stablecoins from neighbouring countries
