Payments

Do not use a stablecoin because the word settlement sounds modern.

Use one when the parties can hold it, redeem it, and survive a pause. If they need a deposit at a bank, that is a different liability.

Wrong when

  • The holder cannot redeem, or does not know who can refuse.
  • A pause by the issuer or the chain stops the business.
  • The peg depends on selling another token of the same system.
  • The legal payment has to be a bank deposit or a central-bank liability.
  • Someone is describing the token as yield.
