The Problem
Stablecoins are broken.
1. 0% APY
Most stablecoins offer 0% APY. Without yield, your USD-denominated stablecoin is losing value every day due to inflation.
2. Fiat-Backed
Most stablecoins (like USDC and Tether) rely on the traditional banking system. This means these stablecoins are dependent on that system to remain:
Operational and solvent
Friendly to crypto
These dependencies have been challenged recently, evidenced by the Silicon Valley Bank crisis which led USDC to trade 12% below peg. Read more here.
There is no yield-bearing dollar that is backed by the hardest asset in the world (BTC) and native to the most secure Blockchain (Bitcoin).
