Sonic Labs Shifts Focus to UAE Dirham Stablecoin Amid Criticism
According to Cointelegraph, Sonic Labs has decided to abandon its plans to launch a US dollar-pegged algorithmic stablecoin instead of developing a stablecoin denominated in the United Arab Emirates dirham. This strategic shift was announced by Sonic Labs co-founder Andre Cronje, who initially revealed the company's intention to create a US dollar-pegged stablecoin with an annual percentage rate (APR) of up to 23% on March 22. However, just a week later, Cronje announced a change in direction, stating in a March 28 post on X that the firm would no longer pursue the USD-based algorithmic stablecoin. Instead, Sonic Labs plans to release a mathematically bound numerical Dirham, which will be settled and denominated in USD, but not classified as a USD-based algorithmic stablecoin
