Yield stablecoins lead a new wave of innovation in asset issuance.
Yield-bearing stablecoin: A new round of asset issuance innovation
Stablecoins are becoming a market consensus. The interest-bearing stablecoin (YBS) is a new form of stablecoin that follows the on-chain banking logic of savings and loans, deconstructing the power of asset issuance. The history of the crypto industry is a history of innovation in asset issuance models, and this time it is relatively mild under the banner of stability.
Stablecoins originated from Bitcoin, but Bitcoin, as an unanchored currency system, cannot maintain stability. USDT was the first to attempt within the Bitcoin ecosystem, later transitioning to the exchange valuation domain. Fiat stablecoins were born from this, and the mechanism is not complicated; it only requires trust in the issuer and market recognition.
The DAI issued by MakerDAO adopts an over-collateralization mechanism, which has long been the only choice for on-chain stablecoin issuance. The subsequent history of cryptocurrency is a story of how to reduce the collateralization ratio. The failure of UST has led to the downfall of algorithmic stablecoins, while hybrid mechanisms like Frax have become mainstream.
Yield-bearing stablecoins require both a yield mechanism and a stablecoin mechanism. The sources of yield-bearing assets mainly include two methods: on-chain usage of pledged assets and off-chain usage of yield-generating assets such as US Treasuries, which can also be used in combination. A complete yield-bearing stablecoin protocol typically includes the stablecoin and its staked version, as well as the main protocol token and its staked version.
After screening, there are currently about 50 active mainstream yield-bearing stablecoin projects in the market. They mainly compete in the retail market for interest calculation, pricing, and payment scenarios. Most projects achieve functionality by combining other protocols, similar to the early DeFi Lego blocks.
Emerging interest-bearing stablecoin projects with significant future potential may include Resolv, Avalon, Falcon, Level, and Noon Capital. These projects need to focus on sustainable profitability and principal security. The development of interest-bearing stablecoins will be a new round of asset issuance innovation in the cryptocurrency field.
