Tether co-founder Reeve Collins stated in an interview with Wu Blockchain that next-generation stablecoins will evolve into “Stablecoin 2.0,” characterized by reserve assets becoming fully transparent on-chain, yield being separated from the stablecoin itself, and programmable mechanisms enabling precise distribution to liquidity providers and participants in distribution channels. He also believes artificial intelligence will reshape the financial industry, with blockchain, stablecoins, and underlying protocols increasingly operating in the background to facilitate real-time global value and fund settlement.
