Crypto research firm Gauntlet has published a blog post explaining the benefits of using stablecoins as collateral for staking, specifically focusing on Circle's USDC stablecoin. The post states that stablecoins not only improve security but also improve yields on a risk-adjusted basis. Stablecoins provide lower economic risk for node operators, resulting in higher returns when risk is factored into the equation. They are particularly effective in defending against corruption attacks in single-collateral settings and can also provide economic security during drawdowns. Circle's CEO, Jeremy Allaire, praised the research, stating that USDC is becoming foundational to crypto economic security.
