Raycash launches an app on Ethereum, allowing users to make private stablecoin payments and earn Morpho yield on idle funds.
Zama has spun off a project called Raycash, which is now making moves in the Ethereum ecosystem. Its newly launched app lets users make stablecoin payments privately, while funds they deposit can automatically earn Morpho yield when not in use. In other words, your coins can put in the work without being exposed, while keeping your transactions private. This adds another option to the stablecoin solutions currently on the market, many of which aren’t private or flexible enough.
Market impact
- Short term: This could have a more direct impact on ETH, since the app runs on the Ethereum network. It may encourage some privacy-conscious users to transact with ETH, giving ETH usage a bit of a boost. In terms of fund flows, it could attract some existing capital looking to make private payments.
- Medium term: If Raycash can gain a foothold, it could change some of the ways people think about stablecoins, showing that they can be more than just a place to park money. For the DeFi industry as a whole, having another option is better than having one less; this is an initial exploration of combining confidential computing and DeFi.
My take
This is a neutral-to-positive development for the industry as a whole—not especially exciting, but still a small breakthrough. It demonstrates a new use case for stablecoins, though it remains to be seen whether it will catch on. ETH is currently down pretty badly at $2,124.72, but at least this news hasn’t added to the market’s troubles—a small comfort, I guess. Take it easy if I’m wrong; I’m only testing the waters with a small position myself. I’m about 70% confident in this take, and I’ll leave the remaining 30% up to the market.
