I think there are broadly only two ways in which a new chain could succeed at this point in the cycle. Especially in the context of the new stable-coin L1s (@PlasmaFDN, @arc and @stripe 's Tempo) that are imminently rolling out.

The Sui Playbook:

Firstly, the @SuiNetwork playbook. For all intents and purposes, Sui does not have a burgeoning or strong on-chain eco-system (see below for a quick comp between HL, ETH, SOL on volumes/users/fees), yet there seems to be a relentless bid for it. The cynic in me would say that it's very much KOL driven: Its not a coincidence that @Grayscale announced their Sui Trust in Sept 2024 right after the major unlocks began, shortly followed by some of the larger heavy weights e.g. @HighStakesCap tossing their hat. One only needs to look at some of the marketing agencies that list Sui as a client. That's fine its an attention market and that's the name of the game.

Having said that I think there is another way for the these stablechains to win and that's via access to cheap cheap dollar leverage to max pump DeFi native TVL. I think this is actually what @berachain did extremely well. Perhaps too well. They rented out ~$3b for ~3 months at a cost of 2% of FDV which ended up being ~$40m at the time of unlock i.e. about 5% APR. The real issue with the chain was that it was 1. rented tvl with a clear end date and 2. aerodromesque tokenomics/emissions were designed for 2023 not the more sophisticated 2025 cohort.

The On-chain Native Playbook:

For @PlasmaFDN to win I would lean heavily towards giving the market what it wants: Cheap loops and cheap leverage:

@tether should giga mint USDT directly into @aave becoming the de facto supply side liquidity provider people borrow from rather than having to rely on third party degens/funds.

Just imagine Tether dropping $20b directly into @PlasmaFDN @aave day 1. If its not borrowed, its 'protocol owned' and thats fine. If it is borrowed, that USDT becomes circulating, it earns a yield, and its overcollateralised by ETH/USDE/PT deposits. Tether can then act like its very own central bank flexing the rate it wants to earn on its lends by tightening or loosening supply. (sketch below)

Why would this work?
1. @tether wins because they would still earn a yield on these 'unbacked' lend positions so bigger absolute profits, they'd have way more AUM because of greedy loopers also they'd be sitting on a much larger XPL bag.
2. On-chain enjoyers win because.. well their carry margins are fatter too.
3. Lets also remember that @ethena uses USDT so it doesnt necessarily even need to get redeemed (to the extent they dont swap for USDS or USDtb since tether dominates cexperp margin).

This type of composability at such a grand scale would be incredibly novel and is exactly why you'd want to own the entire value chain... cc @paoloardoino

True,
step 1: from stablecoin/payment to L1s
step 2: from L1s to IPO

稳定币支付infra 诸侯时代开启了。所有人都想抢 @trondao 的生意。

- @PlasmaFDN backed by @tether
- @arc backed by @circle
- tempo backed by @stripe

中国的创业者还在卷u卡，外国的创业在做visa了。
如果chatgpt和twitter这样的大merchant可以直接接受稳定币支付的话，u卡的场景会少一半。

海外大厂直接跳过u卡的中间态产品，下场做稳定币支付的visa network毫无疑问会加速稳定币的支付场景推广。

稳定币支付的游戏，真的越来越精彩了！
