Tether Co-Founder: With more assets possibly becoming the backing of stablecoins, USD stablecoins will face increasingly fierce competition

2025.04.29 12:16:25

On April 29th, as per the report by Cointelegraph, Reeve Collins, the co-founder of Tether, stated in an interview held in Dubai that although at present the leading players in the stablecoin and Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization arena are USD-backed stablecoins, they will encounter more competition in the future. Collins pointed out that assets such as money market funds, commodities, and gold could all serve as endorsements for stablecoins. Since these assets may provide users with higher yields compared to U.S. Treasury bonds, they may play a crucial role in the stablecoin market in the future. Additionally, Collins believes that the launch of stablecoin projects supported by Trump indicates that stablecoins have received full recognition, laying the groundwork for other global institutions, governments, and fintech companies to enter this field.

Trend-following funds have taken a record short position in global bonds, with the US CPI report expected to be the key determinant of their profit and loss.

According to Bloomberg, data from UBS Group shows that Commodity Trading Advisors (CTAs), which seek to profit from price movements across various asset classes, tripled their underweight positions in bonds in July from two weeks prior. Since then, these bets have remained stable. If the upcoming U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI) push Treasury prices higher, the CTAs face the risk of losses. Strategist Nicolas Le Roux noted that a 1-basis-point move in the 10-year Treasury yield ahead of inflation data translates to roughly $300 million in profit or loss for CTAs, with this exposure being the largest UBS has recorded since it began compiling relevant data in 1990.

According to a report from The Information, Brad Lightcap, head of special projects and former chief operating officer (COO) of OpenAI, is set to leave the company. Over the past year, Lightcap’s internal responsibilities at OpenAI have undergone multiple adjustments, with his latest role being leading "special projects".

His departure comes as OpenAI continues to expand its commercialization efforts, advance enterprise business and strategic partnerships. The company has previously implemented multiple rounds of organizational restructuring, including transferring some COO responsibilities to other executives. Brad Lightcap joined OpenAI in 2018, and prior to that held roles at Y Combinator and JPMorgan Chase. He was one of the key operations and business leaders during OpenAI’s transition from a research institute to a commercial AI company.
