Decentralized stablecoins may eventually dominate the stablecoin market, so long as crypto \u201cends up living up to its potential,\u201d says Rune Christensen, the co-founder of DeFi pioneer MakerDAO.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Cointelegraph\u2019s Andrew Fenton at the Korea Blockchain Week 2023, Christensen aired his thoughts on the future of decentralized stablecoins such as Dai (DAI<\/a>) and their role in the wider crypto economy.<\/p>\n

They discussed a presentation by Castle Island Ventures partner Nic Carter<\/a> at the TOKEN2049 conference in Singapore in which he said that interest-bearing stablecoins could become 30% of the market within two years.<\/p>\n

Christensen agreed but said it would probably depend on the macro situation, adding \u201cif high inflation high rates continue, then probably,\u201d stablecoin dominance will increase. <\/p>\n

When asked whether a decentralized stablecoin could compete with its centralized cousins, he replied:<\/p>\n

\u201cEasily I mean, I think if the space ends up living up to its potential, then decentralized stablecoins will be the entire market like centralized stablecoins would be the edges that connect us to like the legacy system.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He added that if crypto \u201cdelivers\u201d and becomes regulated, centralized stablecoins will become more mainstream. However, the real potential is in decentralized stablecoins, he suggested:<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the real killer advantage of decentralized stablecoins, run by actual data like Maker, is this ability to gamify your savings.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In mid-2022, Christiansen proposed<\/a> MakerDAO\u2019s \u201cEndgame Plan\u201d. The plan proposes making DAI a free-floating asset, initially collateralized by real-world assets (RWA).<\/p>\n

There will be a three-year period when DAI remains pegged to the dollar. During this period, the protocol will double down on RWA to accumulate as much Ether (ETH<\/a>) as possible which increases the ratio of decentralized collateral.<\/p>\n

Rune believes that Maker has built a very solid and stable foundation but it has been overtaken by scammy and illegitimate projects. <\/p>\n

He wants to try and gamify<\/a> to make the protocol fun and more appealing to younger users. \u201cIt’s what people want,\u201d he said before adding, \u201cThings are designed like a game and that’s the kind of interface they will use.\u201d<\/p>\n
