On May 13, 2021, Bitcoin.com Exchange announced the listing of Student Coin (STC), with trading commencing at 10:00 AM UTC. STC is now available against USDT, BTC, and ETH trading pairs. As the native token of the Student Coin ecosystem, STC acts as the reference currency for all tokens created within the platform, driving the vision of large-scale tokenization into the mainstream.
What is Student Coin?
Student Coin aims to bring tokens and blockchain technology to the masses. It is the first platform to enable wide-scale tokenization for individuals, organizations, corporations, startups, and decentralized finance (DeFi). The ecosystem allows anyone to easily create any type of token and develop it over the long term. Users can tokenize people, firms, and organizations, manage token utilities, conduct crowdfunding, and list new projects effortlessly.
Universities serve as hubs for innovation, cutting-edge research, and groundbreaking ideas. With global connectivity at an all-time high and substantial external value transfers, the educational sector has become one of the fastest-growing markets. This fertile environment makes it the perfect ground for building the first mass tokenization platform, much like how the internet and social media began in academic settings.
Student Coin is run by students, faculty, and entrepreneurs from more than 20 universities, including Kozminski University, New York University, and Harvard University. The global educational market's rapid growth provides a robust foundation for the platform's expansion.
Core Utilities of the STC Token
The blockchain-based Student Coin ecosystem has its own currency — the STC Token. Its utility corresponds to the benefits of blockchain technology and tokenization. STC functions as the reference currency for the entire ecosystem's equity flow, powering the STC Terminal, STC Exchange, and STC App.
The key role of STC is to serve as the base currency for all tokens ever created on the STC Terminal. Personal, DeFi, and startup tokens traded on STC Exchange are paired exclusively with STC, making it the universal measure of value. By holding STC, investors effectively own a portion of the entire ecosystem and all tokens created with Student Coin, creating a powerful value appreciation mechanism.
The second major utility is staking. By staking STC, investors earn passive income from STC Exchange fees, receiving a share of the revenue generated from trading and crowdfunding activities.
Lastly, STC grants governance rights. Holders can vote on project development decisions and fund the most promising projects built within the ecosystem.
Executive Endorsements and Ecosystem Outlook
Danish Chaudhry, CEO of Bitcoin.com Exchange, commented: “I’ve always strongly believed an educational approach is the only way to reach mass adoption. The team at Student Coin have finally found a way to target not only the crypto community, but also students. Allowing the minds of the future to learn more about the technology, cryptocurrency markets, exchanges, and DeFi. I believe this gives their platform the fundamentals to gain market share and possibly build further adoption.” He added, “We’re very excited to see how Student Coin will continue to empower their vision for the future of wide-scale tokenization, and gain further outreach with our outstanding community at the exchange.”
