@Xangle_official maps how stablecoin competition is shifting from issuance to distribution:
issuance (opened up by the GENIUS Act) → distribution (platforms that own the users and use cases) → reserve income (shared to secure it).
As a 1:1 dollar peg stops being a differentiator, reserve income turns from pure issuer profit into the cost of buying distribution, USDT, USDC, USDG, and PYUSD each pay for it in a different way.
