Absolutely not. The reason bank interest is lower is because the FDIC ensures that you get your money if the bank stops existing. If the company backing your stablecoin stops existing, what are you left with? Nothing, of course

This not disruptive. This is just normal investing with all the risks attached

According to Nexo "Disrupting the financial system, one bit at a time." they have 3 million users on their saving platform. (https://nexo.io/about-us). I haven't used them and am not recommending them but there seems to be something going on there.

Isn't that exactly what they said about tulip bulbs too?

FDIC doesn't have enough money to cover everyone in case of some really bad event. And FDIC is useless when your currency is devalued / hyoerinflated.

Try looking into why these investments have higher returns than a bank account. The risk profile isn't the same at all.

If you want returns in traditional finance, you don't stick money in a bank account. You buy bonds and/or stocks.

You say this on a thread that confirms Tether to be an unmitigated fraud. How and why are we supposed to trust in USDC, USDP and all the other permutations of USD to not be frauds themselves. It is easy to give a 10% return when all your really doing is offering unbacked IOUs

For USDP you could look at the NY regulatory compliance of it. USDP appears to be the most regulated USD token.
