    Stablecoin without the stupid "coin" part.

    Taler has "One-sided Privacy":

    1. The payment system operators cannot track how a customer spends their electronic money (blind signatures)

    2. merchants' income is transparent for tax collection authorities. This helps prevent tax evasion and money laundering.

    Other privacy features: decentralized, no customer registration.

    Multi-currency support, one-click payments, very suitable for micropayments.
