In our 𝗧𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽-𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗲 series, we explore in more detail interesting papers that were published last month. Our first paper for the month is... Paper: DeFi-ying the Fed? Monetary policy transmission to stablecoin deposit rates Authors: Andrea Barbon, Jean Barthélemy, Benoit Nguyen Date: 2026-09-14 Estimated Reading Time: 25-30 minutes Major stablecoin issuers pay no interest, so the yield on USDC, USDT or DAI comes from lending them in DeFi. This ECB working paper asks whether Federal Reserve policy reaches that yield, using Aave v2 and v3 on Ethereum from January 2021 to January 2026. Aave sets deposit rates from pool utilisation, with no reference to any policy rate, and the data show it. Around a median 50 bp hike, deposit rates rise by about 15 bps after one week. While the Fed raised rates by 525 bps between March 2022 and July 2023, DeFi rates fell from 2.5% to 0.5% before recovering, and between September and December 2024 a 100 bp cut coincided with a 600 bp rise. The authors model two opposing forces: liquidity providers with access to traditional finance withdraw after a hike, which pushes rates up, while leveraged crypto borrowers cut back as tightening lowers expected returns, which pushes them down. The same shock lifts the USDC deposit rate on impact and lowers the USDT rate, which takes beyond 42 weeks to converge. The arbitrage that would tie DeFi to money-market rates is done by a minority: wallets that supplied only USDC, 7.29% of liquidity providers and about 15% of USDC volume. That reaches retail users too, as trading platforms route stablecoin balances into lending protocols: an earn product built this way inherits a yield that tracks crypto leverage and can fall while the policy rate rises. The instrument is weak, with a first-stage F-statistic of 7, so the signs carry more weight than the sizes. See the full summary with linked source research paper here: findas.org/reports/paper-dee…

A typical token launch spans ten distinct workstreams from business plan through post-launch treasury management, and takes six to twelve months from decision to TGE. End-to-end budgets range from under 50k USD for the most stripped-down launches to well over 1 million USD once legal, marketing, product integration, and Tier 1 exchange listings are in scope. Most projects underestimate both the calendar time and the cost of the non-tokenomics work. ⬇ ⬇ ⬇ Link to the full article below findas.org/blogs/launch-a-to…

Over those five weeks the diluted value of the sixty protocols in the index rose 7%, and their annualised fees rose 40%. September's fees came in at $2.5bn against $1.9bn in August. We read the lower multiple as protocols earning more, not as the market marking them down. One strong fee month is not a trend, so that reading holds for September and no further.

It was renamed #Tether that November. Today USDT has about $184 billion in circulation, 58.6% of every dollar-pegged stablecoin in existence. It got there with none of the machinery a token design is usually judged on: no emission schedule, no vesting, no staking rewards, no burn, no treasury allocation. A token is created when someone deposits a dollar with the issuer and destroyed when someone redeems it. Supply is whatever demand says it is on the day. Holders accept a token with no upside at all because it does one job well enough: it holds its value while trades settle, capital waits between positions and dollars move across borders. For token design, that is an uncomfortable benchmark. Most supply schedules are an argument for why a token should hold value. The largest stablecoin made no such argument. It tied supply to demand and let the use case do the rest. 📶 FinDaS - #tokenomics. Engineered, not guessed. ⚡ Like and share this post if you found it insightful.

A tokenomics template gives you an allocation pie and a vesting schedule. It does not model how stakeholders behave under stress, whether your utility produces a real sink, or what happens to price when the first unlock lands against shallow demand. For anything past a minimal ERC-20 launch, what templates skip is what kills the project. ⬇ ⬇ ⬇ Link to the full article below findas.org/blogs/tokenomics-…

Over the past two weeks a Fed rate hike, a failed Senate vote on market structure and a 387.5M USD exchange breach moved it less than one point, between 58.52% and 59.27%.
