How STBL Token Will Function?

STBL aligns with the growing demand and interest in stablecoins, as its anchors to the same to combine the reliability of traditional assets with decentralized infrastructure. It is part of the three-token model to separate liquidity, yield, and governance: USST, a stablecoin backed by the U.S. Treasury bonds (Real World Assets or RWAs), and is at the center of the ecosystem.

YLD is a token representing the yield generated from these underlying assets, and STBL is the governance token that oversees the protocol and manages upgrades. It governs the entire protocol and allows holders to vote on fees, rewards, risk, and treasury policies, roadmap proposals, and more.

How STBL Differs from Other Stablecoin Models?

“The STBL token is designed to serve as the governance layer of the stablecoin ecosystem. It represents our vision for giving users an active role in shaping how stablecoins evolve and ensuring that the benefits of real-world asset backing flow directly to the community,” says Reeve Collins.

STBL token is different from the traditional stablecoins like USDC and USDC  as it separates yield from liquidity, whereas the others keep all yield or DAI. This ‘yield splitting’ solves a major problem of the stablecoin market, which is the need to choose between earning income and using funds.

Notably, when the USST is created, users will also receive YLD tokens automatically, a right to yield from underlying assets. This way it ensures simultaneous participation in the DeFi protocols (using USST) while continuing to earn income from RWAs through YLD.

On comparison with the Ethena USDe, it is reportedly better for institutional adoption and risk management as it is fully backed by real-world assets.

While this is significant, the recent Jean Tirole concerns about stablecoins still echo concerns. It has to see what a difference STBL brings with promises of stronger backing and transparency.

For now, the Binance Alpha listing is a bullish step for the token, and additional exchange listings in the future may test it further.
