STBL Launches GENIUS-Aligned Stablecoin and Yield-Bearing NFT Platform
A new startup, STBL, is bringing traditional finance strategies to tokenized assets by emulating zero-coupon strip structures. It converts digital assets into a dollar-pegged stablecoin and a yield-bearing NFT, allowing the separation of interest payments from the principal.
- The product enables asset holders to retain returns, unlike regular stablecoins like USDT, where issuers keep profits.
- Depositing a yield-bearing on-chain asset into STBL splits it into a stablecoin (USST) and a yield-accruing NFT (YLD).
- This design aims to align with regulatory frameworks such as the U.S. GENIUS Act by separating principal from yield.
- The USST stablecoin maintains its dollar peg through over-collateralization and an incentive system.
- The decentralized governance token, also called STBL, debuted successfully, reaching a market value of $1.3 billion, peaking at $2.3 billion.
- Future plans include a $100 million minting with Franklin Templeton’s BENJI token and partnerships with other firms.
