Abstract:
This paper presents a money view analysis of the recent crypto innovation of stablecoins, which have seen a remarkable rise as well as some spectacular collapses. By analogizing on-chain with offshore, and developing an extended analogy of stablecoins with Eurodollars, we reveal the primitive character of the existing on-chain liquidity mechanisms that support the promise of par settlement by existing on-chain stablecoin models. Liquidity, not solvency, is the issue confronted by par settlement.
