Etherfuse is revolutionizing the $140 trillion global bond market by introducing Stablebonds on Stellar. These tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) combine the stability of government bonds with the power of the Stellar blockchain, creating new yield opportunities for users worldwide.
What are Stablebonds?
Stablebonds are Etherfuse’s tokenized government-issued treasury bonds from countries like the United States and Mexico. Designed to offer low-risk, yield-generating opportunities on-chain, Stablebonds provide an alternative to traditional bond investments. As the underlying treasury bonds accrue interest or mature, returns are distributed to Stablebond holders.
By keeping the financial benefits within local economies and avoiding reliance on foreign currencies, Stablebonds aim to contribute to the economic growth of the issuing countries.
Stablebonds are issued natively on the Stellar blockchain, making it simple for wallets to support them by adding a trustline. These permissionless assets can be easily bought, sold, and traded on decentralized exchanges (DEXs), ensuring liquidity and transparency on the blockchain.
Key Benefits of Stablebonds
- Cross-Border Accessibility: Traditional government bonds often come with barriers, such as large minimum purchase amounts and reliance on intermediaries. Stablebonds lower these entry barriers, enabling users from all over the world to access the global bond market with smaller investments.
- Flexible Savings Tool: Stablebonds provide an alternative to fixed-term savings products. Users can hold them in wallets to earn passive interest while retaining the ability to send, exchange, or use them as needed on Stellar.
- Collateral for DeFi: Stablebonds can also serve as collateral in DeFi applications, supporting borrowing and lending activities. By leveraging government-backed bonds as collateral, Stablebonds offer yield opportunities tied to real-world economic activity while improving liquidity.
Why Stellar for Stablebonds?
Stellar’s combination of affordability, scalability, and real-world utility makes it the perfect infrastructure for Etherfuse to launch Stablebonds globally.
- Low Transaction Fees: Stellar’s transaction fees are incredibly low—averaging just $0.000053 per transaction. This makes small, fractional bond purchases cost-effective, without the heavy fees typically associated with traditional financial systems.
- Global On and Off-Ramp Network: Stellar’s extensive network of on- and off-ramps enables seamless access to Stablebonds from anywhere in the world.
- Focus on Real-World Solutions: The Stellar network serves a broad ecosystem, ranging from small businesses to large corporations, solving real-world problems like cross-border payments and inflation protection. Stablebonds can be used to expand access to global financial opportunities.
It’s important to note that Stablebonds are available only to non-U.S. persons in select jurisdictions. They are not available for sale in the United States or to U.S. persons.
