RE: BitShares is Going to Dominate Crypto in 2018 - Here's Why!

in #bitshares7 years ago

Here's a question for you, do you know how to create a market-pegged asset on the bitshares platform? For example, could you create something similar to bitUSD but pegged instead to a stock, or to the price average of a basket of stocks? I see that you can create assets and smartcoins, I am just not sure how to peg the price and have it updated regularly etc.... or if its even possible. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, that is definitely possible. It's a much more complicated process than a simple token though, like you found. Here is a great place to start reading up on Market Pegged Assets (MPAs). Crucially, you will need to convince Bitshares witnesses to maintain a price feed for your MPA.

Thanks for the lead, I will check it out.
