Banks are interfering since the stablecoin yield model interrupts the banking system, posing intense competition and offering better yields to users than banks do. Besides, stablecoins contribute to DeFi's economics, and DeFi is also a rival to the traditional banking system, with its high intermediary and transaction fees. Stablecoins are minted on various chains. The main one is Ethereum, but USDT and USDC are now minting on a dozen other blockchains. Tron and Cardano also offer stablecoins, as well as Ripple. #RLUSD #Ethereum #Ripple News #Richard Teng
