Telcoin’s GitHub code showed that an eFiat reference (ex: eUSD, eGBP, eAUD) would be used as part of the stablecoin reference. The premise is as follows:
A user loads fiat onto the app from a credit card or bank account; this gets converted into a $TEL created stablecoin (ex: eUSD, eGBP, eAUD) showing up as a fiat balance on the user’s Telcoin wallet.
When the user sends the funds, the current fiat value of $TEL is referenced from the “coinbase” text string in the code, and then that amount of $TEL is bought for the user.
Remember a stablecoin has to be backed by a reserve fiat, and it is referenced on page 4 of the bill: “Stablecoin means a cryptocurrency designed to have a stable value that is backed by a reserve asset.” The only way this can be done is through a designated financial institution such as partnered banks.
Telcoin has really set itself up to become a robust exchange like Coinbase. For a long time, the focus was on obtaining every regulatory document necessary to proceed, and without the latter, Paul would not be able to appear before government entities, and establish partnerships with traditional institutions like banks and telecoms. If I had to guess, I’d expect them to reveal the bank partnership(s) once the bill has been fully approved, and before the launch of V3.
