Because bitcoin is pristine collateral in the crypto verse, and soon probably in the mainstream area.

Not with volatility. When looking at how the lending world works, especially short term, when something is volatile, it is crap collateral.

As for the backing, it truly isnt. This is more putting it in the general Treasury. I know it was slated as a backing, but I am not sure the idea of paying out in BTC if the peg drops to low is even possible. As Smooth pointed out, there are technical issues at every level.

The "golden nugget" of stablecoins, my latest articles describes how we go about that.
