Nic Carter, co-founder of Castle Island Ventures, predicts that yield-bearing stablecoins will disrupt the current market dominance of Tether and Circle. Carter argues that the existing stablecoin system discourages usage due to the involvement of intermediaries who take a share of the yield. He notes that new white-label stablecoin solutions are reducing costs and allowing new entrants to compete. Carter foresees a future where all stablecoins offer yield, despite resistance from major players like Tether. The emergence of Ethena’s USDe, a yield-bearing synthetic dollar, exemplifies this trend.
