$STBL: A new stablecoin play built on a 3-token model: the stablecoin itself, a yield rights token, and $STBL as governance. Targeting an “RWA-backed” design (T-bills, MMFs, gold/silver, tokenized assets), it splits yield from principal. Backed by reports of big-name institutions and reputable teams, with initial mints from traditional funds.
#LUNA: Token of the Terra chain (post-2022 crash version). Known for the infamous collapse that wiped out billions — still facing legal heat and massive trust issues in the market.
1) Guarantee Mechanism & Design
•LUNA (Terra): Previously relied on an algorithmic seigniorage mechanism to maintain the peg of its UST stablecoin — a model that collapsed during the panic-driven market crash of 2022. Since then, new chains/versions have been launched, but the core issues of trust and model weakness remain.
STBL: Utilizes RWA (real-world assets) such as T-bills, money market funds, or collateralized assets (e.g., tokenized gold/silver). It introduces a dual-token model separating principal (USST) from yield (YLD) — allowing the stablecoin to stay stable while giving holders access to yield through a separate token. This design helps reduce the risk of an “algorithmic death spiral.
2) Transparency, Audits & Institutions
LUNA: Post-crash, lawsuits everywhere, founders bankrupt, and transparency still questionable. Big legal risk + broken trust.
$STBL: Said to have big names in early mints (e.g., Franklin Templeton) and claims assets are managed/insured. If the audits + custodians check out, that’s a huge plus. Still gotta verify those reports though.
3) Tokenomics & Incentives
•LUNA: Mainly used for peg stability + fees. Post-crash, the whole mechanism + tokenomics got reworked, but market trust is gone.
$STBL: Runs a 3-token setup—stablecoin split from yield rights. Could pull in both stability seekers and yield hunters. If it works as designed, it’s a strong setup for DeFi and even institutions.
4) Liquidity & Listings
LUNA: Plenty of liquidity across exchanges, but crazy swings due to sentiment.
$STBL: On some big exchanges (Binance Alpha, Kraken, MEXC according to reports) with initial liquidity from institutional mints. Still gotta watch real trading volume.
