I just came across this insightful article from Shamla Tech that dives into the economics behind giants like USDT and USDC.
๐ก ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ถ๐ป๐ฐ๐น๐๐ฑ๐ฒ:
Earning interest on fiat reservesโbanks and government papers generate steady income.
Charging minting, burning, and transaction fees that scale with usage.
Monetizing tools & services: APIs, commercial partnerships, compliance analytics, white-label licensingโand even cross-chain bridge fees.
๐ The piece also explores advanced models like algorithmic stablecoins and upcoming trendsโprogrammable yield, DeFi integrations, and how issuers must innovate under evolving regulations.
๐ช๐ต๐ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐บ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐:
Stablecoins enable seamless global value exchangeโbut their profitability comes from a sophisticated mix of banking yields, infrastructure fees, and financial services. Itโs a neat illustration of how Web3 infrastructure = Web2 revenue models.
If you're into DeFi, fintech, or blockchain strategy, this is a must-read. A great reference point for understanding where the money flows in the stablecoin ecosystem.

Are traditional financial models still the backbone of crypto infrastructure? Would love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
