Stablecoins are real and important in the world, with increasing use cases like DoorDash paying drivers via Tempo. Their growing utility represents a core success story for crypto that is detached from speculative asset price movements.

Stablecoins, particularly USD-denominated ones, have gained massive global traction, with transaction volumes surpassing Visa and Mastercard. They offer cheaper, faster, and more efficient cross-border payments and treasury operations, leading to increasing adoption by multinational firms and financial institutions.

Cryptocurrencies are speculative and should be regulated as securities; stablecoins are used for crime and pose systemic risks if integrated into the economy; the industry is overhyped and dangerous, with potential for a downturn that could impact the broader economy.

Stablecoins are currently used predominantly for crypto-related activities, but for broader adoption and to prove their utility, they need to see a significant increase in usage for non-crypto purposes such as traditional corporate payments and settlements.

Stablecoins are a massive and growing use case due to their efficiency and cost advantages over traditional cross-border payment systems like SWIFT. Major corporations and treasury operations are adopting them to move capital instantly, cheaply, and over weekends, improving capital efficiency.

Stablecoins should be allowed to stream the risk-free rate (e.g., from treasury holdings) directly to holders on-chain. Current regulation prevents this, forcing the risk and search for yield onto DeFi protocols and retail users. Enabling this would repricing the entire DeFi yield curve and make markets more efficient.
