So this stable coin is "100% backed by the asset behind it", like a dollar, which is "backed by 1% real assets (go fractional reserve money!)". What did I miss?

  1 dollar is backed by 1 dollar. 1 dollar in the bank is backed by 0.01 dollar.

    And 1 stable coin is backed by 1 dollar in the bank. That means one stable coin is backed by 0.01 real dollar.

      UST is not backed by dollars in any way, it's backed by assets that have a corresponding value in dollars. So no, your statement is incorrect.
