So, this would be based on crypto? That's what I understand, like the stable coin. I have many questions that they didn't really cover.
It seems that the way the dividends come about is by loaning out money, your $3 becomes $97. Is that correct? If so:
There's more questions. I'm not trying to shoot it down, I just want to understand.
Edit, is it still tied to SOFR?
Not crypto. Just digital. So, centralized, subject to anti-fraud regulation, reversible transactions, etc.
Not loaned out. Explicitly marked as not-loanable. Which would be foolish in today’s market, because you’re losing out on a dividend. Except… the bank actually keeps most of the benefit from your deposit being loanable normally. This way, you get the benefit instead.
Basically, it allows depositors to compete against the banks. So they can’t take you for granted, because you actually have alternative.
