a16z Crypto executive: The term stablecoin may gradually become outdated

Robert Hackett, head of special projects at a16z Crypto, pointed out that the term "stablecoin" is gradually losing its relevance. Stablecoins were originally born during a period of high volatility in the crypto market, hence the emphasis on the characteristic of "stability."

However, with technological evolution, stability has become a foundational aspect evolving into global financial infrastructure. The focus of the crypto industry has shifted from "is it stable" to "what else can be built," with stability becoming a basic threshold rather than the innovation itself.

Therefore, the term "stablecoin" seems more like a patch for an old problem rather than a definition of a new financial system. In the future, the concept of stablecoins may ultimately fade into broader expressions like "digital dollar" or "on-chain assets," or even fully integrate into the underlying financial system, much like how "electric light" replaced the concept of "electric illumination."
