AI and account abstraction to fuel next-gen stablecoins — WeFi founder

As a seasoned crypto investor with a decade-long journey under my belt, I can confidently say that the landscape is evolving at an unprecedented pace. Reeve Collins’ vision of simplified management for stablecoins and decentralized finance operations resonates deeply with me.

According to Reeve Collins, the creator of digital bank WeFi built on blockchain technology, we can expect a rise in the number of practical stablecoins. This increase is due to advancements in AI and account abstraction, making it easier for users to handle their decentralized finance activities without having to actively manage them or employ intricate trading tactics to earn returns.

Collins shared with CryptoMoon his belief that the need for income-generating assets like synthetic dollars, advanced stablecoins created by algorithms, and other innovative real-world assets will escalate as user-friendly interfaces become more widespread, fostering a thriving marketplace of diverse products.

When it becomes simpler for individuals to access these income-generating tools, they’ll likely attract a significant amount of interest from investors due to their user-friendly nature and potential for returns. According to Collins, this is the case because:

“When the application layer gets a little more mature and when AI is integrated all of the complexity in this space will be gone, then the only thing that will drive which token to use is which one makes you the most money, which one is the easiest to use.”

Many cryptocurrency users primarily depend on conventional, over-collateralized stablecoins which are secured by fiat currency or short-term financial assets equivalent to it, providing no interest and maintaining the basic qualities of the original fiat holdings.

Stablecoins come under regulatory scrutiny

While proponents argue that over-collateralized stablecoins could reinforce the use of the U.S. dollar, regulatory bodies view this emerging asset class as a possible risk to our existing financial structure.

On December 6th, the U.S. Financial Services Oversight Council (FSOC) released a report highlighting potential threats associated with stablecoins. In this document, the authors pointed out that overcollateralized stablecoins could be susceptible to panics caused by inadequate risk management strategies.

In simple terms, Coinbase has chosen to stop supporting Tether’s stablecoin (USDT) within the European Union due to their commitment to adhere to the regulatory guidelines set by the MiCA framework for crypto markets in the EU.

A representative from Coinbase shared with CryptoMoon that they plan to review their stablecoin offerings at a future point in time, with the intention of re-listing coins that have been found compliant with MiCA regulations.

It comes as no shock that according to a recent study by Kaiko, MiCA-compliant stablecoins hold the majority of the market share in Europe. The leading stablecoin issuer, Circle, controls around 91% of the regional stablecoin market.
