Stablecoins 2.0: Economic Foundations and Risk-based Models


Listen Later

In this episode, we dive deep into the evolving world of stablecoins through the lens of Stablecoins 2.0 — a research-driven framework that analyzes the economic risks, design structures, and governance models behind custodial and non-custodial stablecoins.

You’ll learn:

  • The fundamental differences between reserve-backed, algorithmic, and hybrid stablecoins

  • Why feedback loops and governance structures can make or break stability

  • Key risk categories like data oracles, miner extractable value (MEV), and systemic deleveraging

  • How DeFi primitives like MakerDAO mirror traditional finance through vaults, governance tokens, and risk tranching

  • The future of stablecoin design through economic modeling and incentive alignment

If you're into the real mechanics of stablecoins and how trust is engineered into decentralized money, this episode is your crash course in the economics of Web3 finance.
