BTC-Backed Synthetic Dollar (sBTCD)
BTC-collateralized, non-rehypothecated synthetic dollar paying 2-5% from basis trade + Lightning routing + lending — the savings account BTC lacks.

Score 22/30. $312B stablecoin market; 400M+ BTC holders wanting dollar-stable spending without selling. Ethena proved the model at $6B+ TVL (replicable). BTC-only collateral is a religious feature counter-positioning vs Ethena/Maker/Frax. Risks: basis-trade inversion in crashes (2022 replay), BitVM trustless peg still early, high capital requirement. Hermetica (USDh) is first mover but tiny.
