That's a good point. If it's a pure stablecoin, would it be sustainable? It doesn't make sense to run a stablecoin as a charity/loss leader as there is a very real cost to treasury management and depreciation unless Bitfinex is trying to commoditize their complement.

Plenty of money market funds run with 0.1% fees. SGOV for one. These things aren't expensive to manage, it's pretty much on autopilot.

Ideally a stablecoin would be non-profit and run strictly for quality purposes with audits etc. Why would you ever need more than one? The desire to skim some off the top is far too pervasive in crypto
