TWG interviews BlockEQ co-founder Jon Lister, who discusses their upcoming anchor plans.

Stronghold has opened up their anchored USD stablecoin to retail customers and released an updated DEX UI. On their DEX UI, they will differentiate themselves by only listing certain assets that meet specific criteria.

Rehive - a provider of fintech solutions built on Stellar - describes the benefits of tokenizing vouchers and gift cards on Stellar, including:

• one simple, universal SDK for suppliers to integrate with instead of several custom account systems
• no need for a massive operating float or unnecessary exposure to foreign currency volatility

Token's USD anchored asset is now paired with tokens like XLM, ETH, XRP, and BTC on the DEX and listed as a new market on Stellarport (see the USD "Markets" tab).

Token, a company headed by Steve Kirsch - "a serial Silicon Valley entrepreneur with multiple billion dollar exits", is working on Stellar-based stablecoins. They are initially offering USD, "but about an additional 30 currencies will be added before end 2018 [sic]."
