Stablecoin Market Outlook

The stablecoin market is enormous and is the cornerstone of DeFi and future payment finance. In the short term, fiat-backed stablecoins like USDT/USDC will continue to dominate. The development of new stablecoins can be mainly divided into two categories:

  1. Using traditional financial assets as reserves, providing stable but lower returns.
  2. Maintain stability through arbitrage mechanisms, but there are transparency and regulatory issues.

In the future, the stablecoin market may witness a deep integration of off-chain assets and on-chain applications, but investors should approach platform tokens with caution and pay attention to the development opportunities of emerging stablecoin protocols.
