As for the stable coins, the researchers from the University of Chicago claim that their stability is a bit more nuanced. Especially, even a stable coin cannot defend against a run https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4226027

This doesn't seem to encompass stablecoins that are fully-collateralized, as many claim to be (which is disputable in a lot of cases).

Getting money from users for a token on which you pay no interest and getting the full interest yourself does seem like a good business, it's just not one that would attract customers that have better options.

I'm still shocked Tether survived the whole saga of their collateralization being questioned.
LUSD is the most stable stablecoin but very few people use it
