「ステーブルコインはまさに仮想通貨ギャンブルの基軸通貨となった」―アンドリュー・シェパード氏へのインタビュー

Stablecoins have become an integral part of the crypto industry and have taken a special place in online gambling. Players increasingly choose USDT, USDC, and other stablecoins instead of Bitcoin or Ether. The reason is obvious. It is the absence of sharp volatility. But does this really make betting safer? We discussed this with アンドリュー・シェパードオンラインルーレットの専門家であり、 ルーレット77.

ステーブルコインはオンラインギャンブルでますます利用されるようになっています。なぜこれほど急速にプレイヤーの選択肢となったのでしょうか？

It all started when players grew tired of constant price fluctuations. When you place a bet in Bitcoin or Ether, you are not only gambling but also forced to follow cryptocurrency charts. This turns the process into a double risk, although many see it as a double opportunity. Stablecoins removed this factor, and the market quickly embraced the idea. In addition, USDT の三脚と USDC became available on all major exchanges and in most wallets. This means that for players, the entry barrier or learning curve has practically disappeared. You can convert funds into stables in seconds and ただ as easily use them for gambling. Simplicity and predictability turned out to be more important than the potential volatility of crypto.

比較すると USDT or USDC 　 Bitcoin and Ether, what is the key difference for a roulette or slots player?

The difference is very noticeable. When a player bets in Bitcoin, he must understand that the win or loss in an hour or a day may be worth a completely different amount in fiat equivalent. Some people like this, as a kind of “double game”. But most people want a sense of stability. A bet should remain a bet and not turn into an investment. There are other opportunities for that. Thus, with stablecoins, you already know that your 100 USDT today and tomorrow will be worth about the same. This makes the gaming process more predictable and removes unnecessary stress. After all, most players ultimately come for the emotions of the game, not for cryptocurrency charts.

多くの人にとって、ステーブルコインは利便性と予測可能性を重視しています。実際にプレイヤーが最も強く感じているメリットは何でしょうか？

これらはすべて、前回の回答から導き出されたものです。第一の利点は予算管理です。プレイヤーは支出額を正確に把握し、為替レートによって資金が「食いつぶされる」リスクなしに資金計画を立てることができます。第二の利点はスピードです。ステーブルコインでの送金は数分で完了し、手数料は従来の銀行取引よりも低い場合が多いです。そしてもう一つの重要な点は汎用性です。多くの仮想通貨カジノは数十種類のコインを受け入れていますが、ステーブルコインが基軸通貨となっています。これは便利です。資金をどのコインで保管するか、ゲーム後にどのように両替するかを考える必要がありません。

カジノ運営者の観点から見ると、プレイヤーがステーブルコインに移行すると、ビジネスモデルやプロセスはどのように変化するのでしょうか?

For operators, it is primarily about simplifying conditional accounting. When you work with Bitcoin, you need to take into account exchange rate fluctuations and recalculate profits and losses in real time. With stables, it is much clearer: you work in a “digital dollar”.

運用上の利点もあります。ステーブルコインは決済ゲートウェイへの統合が速く、現金のボラティリティを低減し、プレイヤーの出金を容易にします。しかし、デメリットもあります。運営者はステーブルコイン発行者のリスクと、規制による潜在的な影響を負うことになります。

すべての通貨はドルにペッグされています。このペッグは業界にとってどれほど重要ですか？代替案は現れるでしょうか？

The dollar remains the main currency of the world economy, and that is why dollar stablecoins have become the standard. It is easier for players and operators to think in familiar terms: a deposit in “digital dollars” is immediately clear. But an alternative is possible. Even today, we see projects experimenting with euro stablecoins or even with tokens pegged to gold. The question remains who will be able to provide liquidity and trust. If a reliable euro 安定した with strong exchange support appears, it could take its place.

We have already seen cases of depeg. What will happen if a major 安定した seriously loses its peg? How will this affect the betting market?

The consequences will be serious. If a major 安定した ような USDT or USDC loses trust, players will instantly begin to withdraw funds. For operators, this may result in a liquidity crisis, and for players, in direct losses. At the same time, the crypto market has already shown that it can adapt. After the collapse of some projects, users switched to more reliable alternatives. But for gambling, it is a blow to trust and reputation. Players value stability, and if it is lost, this will lead to a decline in players.

Can stablecoins today be called the “gold standard” for crypto casinos, or is this ただ another trend that will eventually give way to something new?

私の主観的な意見では、現時点ではステーブルコインは仮想通貨ギャンブルの「基軸通貨」として真に機能しています。何百万人ものプレイヤーがステーブルコインを使用し、仮想通貨決済の利点をすべて維持しながら、仮想通貨のボラティリティという主要な問題を解決しています。したがって、これは短期的なトレンドとは見なされません。

But the market does not stand still. Perhaps in five years, new forms of digital money will appear, such as state-issued CBDCs or more 安定した decentralized stables. Then the balance of power will change again. But right now, stablecoins are truly the standard around which the industry is built.
