Are Stablecoins the only good crypto use case?

blocmates.

Crypto

  1. Stablecoins Reign: Forget moonshots; stablecoins are crypto's clearest win, providing real-world utility and attracting both corporate giants (Tether, Circle) and even government attention.

  3. Watch Stablecoin Ecosystem Plays: While Tether and Circle dominate headlines, the narrative strength around stablecoins could create opportunities for related on-chain protocols (like Ethena, Maker) post-macro cooldown.
