In the summer of 2022, the collective collapse of algorithmic stablecoins and the failure of projects like UST served as a cold shower that woke up the entire crypto industry. Those once-popular mathematical models, promising to create value out of nothing, completely collapsed at the most stable moments when they were needed the most. By 2025, we are witnessing a completely different scene—a genuine transformation that returns to the core essence of finance.



How important are stablecoins to the crypto ecosystem? They are like blood. Good blood quality ensures the healthy operation of the entire ecosystem. The failure of those algorithmic stablecoins, in simple terms, was an attempt to sustain the system with hollow promises. Once growth slows down, the entire mechanism enters a death spiral, and nothing can save it. The new generation of stablecoin solutions has completely changed the approach, no longer relying on stories to attract users, but instead establishing real, transparent collateral mechanisms.

Take the current over-collateralization model, for example. The core idea is quite simple—each stablecoin issued must be backed by real assets worth more than 150%. These assets can be mainstream cryptocurrencies like ETH, BNB, or RWA( real-world assets). In comparison, this system is like a transparent bank built on the blockchain, completely free from the opaque operations of traditional finance. You can verify each collateral at any time, with data open and transparent.

Conceptually, it’s like giving you not just a lifebuoy when sailing, but tying you directly to a safe filled with gold—no matter how big the waves, you won’t sink.

RWA0.92%

UST really caught people off guard that time. Now looking at over-collateralization, it's still okay. --- 150% collateral sounds reassuring, but who can guarantee that RWA is truly reliable? --- The story of algorithmic stablecoins sounded so good, but reality gave it a slap. Deserved it. --- From empty promises to real assets, the crypto world has finally learned to be honest. --- The analogy of a transparent bank is good, but whether you believe it mainly depends on the implementer. --- The death spiral part hit the nail on the head. No collateral means just playing dirty.

That wave of UST really makes people reflect; a bubble that bursts is just a burst bubble. Algorithmic stablecoins are fundamentally castles in the air; now this collateralized system is the right path. 150% collateralization sounds much more solid, at least it's tangible and visible.

When UST collapsed, I really couldn't help but laugh. Everyone said they were a math genius, but it turned out to be a Ponzi scheme.

That wave of UST was really incredible. Now this 150% over-collateralization sounds much more reliable.

That wave of UST really wiped me out. Now, looking at this 150% collateralization, I'm still a bit hesitant.

That wave of UST really teaches a lesson. No matter how glamorous the hype, it can't withstand a death spiral... Now with the 150% collateralization strategy, it feels much more solid.

That moment with UST was truly amazing; I thought math could be someone's livelihood.

To be honest, that wave of UST really gave me a heart attack. The bragging mathematical model really deserves to die.
