Motivation behind Binance Jersey
At the beginning of 2019, Binance formed Binance Jersey to initially launch fiat-to-crypto support for pounds and euros with major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ether.
Wei Zhou, — Binance chief financial officer, — stated later in June that the growing use cases for stablecoins as well as the increase in of utility awareness that stablecoins offer led to the issuance of a pound-backed proprietary stablecoin. As a result, Binance Jersey was reportedly motivated to continue pursuing more fiat-pegged stablecoins and add them.
