The crypto market emerged as a response to the limitations of fiat currencies, such as persistent inflation and centralized government control over monetary issuance. Although dollar-based stablecoins are widely used, they maintain direct links to the system that the crypto ecosystem itself seeks to overcome.

Bitcoin is often compared to the gold, referred as a "digital gold", because of its ability to preserve value over time. Inspired by the gold standard, the Bitcoin Standard Protocol was developed to enable Bitcoin to function as a stable currency. It proposes a new monetary standard: The Bitcoin Standard.

With the limitations of stablecoins in mind, the Bitcoin Standard Protocol is built upon Bitcoin’s core principles, aiming to deliver monetary stability without compromising its essence and confidence. It is a Bitcoin-first stablecoin, created for a future in which Bitcoin can truly serve as a global monetary reference.
