We’ve been waiting weeks for this and I’m excited to announce my new venture! TrueX , a non-custodial, stablecoin-native exchange representing the next evolution in crypto markets, today announced that we have officially launched out of stealth. TrueX is the flagship product of True Markets, a platform dedicated to offering markets and liquidity as a service globally through reliable, innovative trading technology. I really enjoyed talking to Leo... “We just rethought the entire thing,” said Gupta in an interview with Fortune. The fundamental challenge for crypto exchanges is building bridges between the worlds of fiat currencies and digital assets. Stablecoins first emerged in popularity with dollar-backed solutions such as Tether and USDC, a collaboration between Circle and Coinbase, so that traders could have a crypto-native solution for holding value in a less volatile asset than cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum. Under the guidance of Gupta, Coinbase became the first exchange to fully integrate around a stablecoin by unifying USDC and USD, meaning they were essentially treated as equivalents within the exchange, simplifying the order books as traders moved in between crypto and fiat. Before its collapse, FTX went even a step further by using a variety of stablecoins for the settlement of trades. For now, TrueX will operate similarly to Coinbase, using PayPal’s PYUSD as the default settlement currency, meaning it will serve as the equivalent of dollars within the TrueX ecosystem. But soon after TrueX launches its trading functionality in the next two to four weeks, according to Gupta, TrueX aims to become stablecoin agnostic. While the founders didn’t say so directly, a likely reason they chose PYUSD as TrueX’s default stablecoin is to choose a different lane from Coinbase, which favors USDC, and which Gupta described as the “best job I’ve ever had.” While PYUSD has not achieved the stratospheric growth of USDC or Tether, its close ties to PayPal—along with issuer Paxos—offer promising opportunities.
