Thinking out loud: Instead of apps launching a token, why not launch stablecoins unique to their ecosystem? Positives? Negatives?

The design space for this is pretty big and absolutely underexplored, which has mainly something to do with the lack of associated successful businesses utilizing alternative token models. Either way is totally fine. This all depends on context and the tradeoffs you are willing to make. Using stablecoins with a value accrual mechanism in terms of revenue share might work as well as a free floating token version that shares the same revenue. The issue is usually not in the token design, but in the token distribution. Because more often than not you have privileged allocations that dump on retail. And no mechanism design protects you from those kinds of ugly price charts. If you are interested, I can share a more concrete idea about a token model that I want to implement for an onchain game that I am working on. This would be right on topic.

Positive: potential for growth to align with increase in TVL Negative: who cares? People use stablecoins, and they want to use the ones they trust the most or else they want rewards Stablecoins farming was a huge part of token printing from early on, and even today morpho or aave rewards is essentially speculative in nature Not sure what this gives you that’s significantly different from printing volatile tokens, but I know what stables don’t do (capture the interest of users)

fragmentation and dealing with regulation to issue stablecoin personally, even the idea of buying internal stars / warps / ... doesn't make it appealing for me to use the product, why?

why unique eco stable? why not build on base with usdc: get free usdc transfers, 2-click on/off ramps with insurance, 1-click to pay anywhere (visa, et al), and all the liquidity & familiarity usdc provides?

Apptokens, recently announced by Limit Break, are an interesting concept. They enable an app to create a programmable economy while eliminating crypto speculation, as the token is restricted to use within the app's ecosystem.

Fragmented liquidity. And users very much prefer incentives in speculative assets. You’re tipping hopium more than exact USD value.

Stablecoins don’t have an upside. The reason you buy a project’s token is you expect that the project will do better in the future. Why buy stable X instead of usdc or an other respected stable?

Stability needs deep liquidity. Tokens are an attempt to unlock liquidity.
