What exactly are the development bottlenecks of decentralized stablecoins? Recently, technical thinkers in the Ethereum ecosystem pointed out three core challenges on this path.



The first and foremost is the limitations of the anchoring mechanism. Currently, most decentralized stablecoins adopt a USD-pegged model, but this approach faces a fundamental risk: if the US dollar depreciates long-term or even experiences hyperinflation (the possibility within 20 years in extreme scenarios cannot be completely ruled out), then this anchoring strategy will fail. Using the US dollar as the value benchmark for stablecoins essentially shifts the risk to users—your stablecoin's stability entirely depends on the creditworthiness of the US dollar itself.

This raises a deeper question: can we design a more resilient value indexing system that does not overly rely on a single fiat currency? Is it possible to create a multi-asset basket or other algorithmic mechanisms to make the stablecoin's value anchor more decentralized and risk-resistant? These are unresolved issues facing DeFi innovators.

The iteration path of stablecoin technology is still long, and overcoming these bottlenecks will directly determine the future form of the entire DeFi ecosystem.

When the day of the US dollar devaluation arrives, these stablecoins won't be laughing... It's really time to consider alternative options.

The devaluation of the US dollar has long been a topic to consider; stablecoins are essentially just a veneer.

Saying that the US dollar is depreciating is too absolute. Instead of waiting for a multi-asset basket, it's better to directly bet on BTC.

The devaluation of the US dollar is only a matter of time. Pegging to the dollar is essentially gambling your future on someone else's fate.

Basically, the strategy of just fixating on the US dollar is too naive, and all the risks are dumped onto our users. If the dollar really crashes, stablecoins will be useless, so what's the point of calling it decentralized... The multi-asset basket approach should have been tried long ago. How come these degens haven't thought of that?
