This is excellent news. It could hold the potential of opening up a lot more doors, especially for the DApps that are looking for funding. Having Fiat/STEEM pairing and, essentially, fiat to SMT is huge. It should help with investments from outside.
I like to see the ecosystem expanding into many different areas. The more place Steem filters into, the better for all of us in the long run.
Thanks for all you do for the blockchain.
