The stablecoin question is: Who gets paid?

ملخص

The stablecoin market's infrastructure provides velocity, but issuers and exchanges capture most of the benefits, leaving the value of stablecoins as a medium of exchange rather than a store of value. This dynamic may influence the market cap and usage of stablecoins. The focus on velocity over market cap could lead to a shift in how investors view and utilize stablecoins.

تأثير السوق

The emphasis on velocity over market cap may lead to increased usage of stablecoins for transactions, potentially benefiting exchanges and issuers, while the value of stablecoins as an investment may decrease. This could result in a decrease in the market cap of stablecoins such as USDT, USDC, and DAI, and an increase in the trading volume of these assets.
