One thing missing in the tokenized treasury conversation (i.e., yield-bearing stablecoins) is what happens if interest rates go up.

That would mean the value of the treasuries go down (a la SVB), and what if the stablecoins are then under collateralized? 🤔 

Happy to be schooled here if anyone knows

Yea someone pointed out to me that you can do it with really short term treasuries and avoid the interest rate risk.

Your point on it just being “one instrument” is so true though. We think of stables as crypto Trojan horse into TradFi, but actually it’s gov’t Trojan horse into DeFi

Stables are tied to FED interest rate and are just one instrument all the way down. Concerning, but the capital tied to them is now substantial enough to maybe normalise on a long timeline? Unsure.
