Posisbile returns on Novatti stablecoin, AUDD, is an Australian dollar-backed stablecoin. Like other stablecoins, its value is pegged to a fiat currency (in this case, the Australian dollar). The specific methods by which Novatti or any particular stablecoin issuer earns income would depend on their business model and strategy, but based on the general revenue streams highlighted previously, we can make some speculations:

1. Interest on Reserves: If Novatti holds the Australian dollar reserves that back the AUDD in interest-bearing accounts or other investments, they could earn income from this interest.

2. Transaction Fees: If there's a fee structure for sending, converting, or redeeming AUDD, then these fees would be a direct source of revenue for Novatti.

3. Spread on Exchange: If AUDD is traded on any platforms owned or affiliated with Novatti, there might be a spread between the buying and selling price from which Novatti could earn.

4. Issuance & Redemption Fees: Fees associated with the minting or burning of AUDD could be another revenue stream.

5. Service Offerings: If Novatti offers additional financial services that integrate or leverage AUDD, fees or profits from these services would contribute to their earnings.

6. Affiliated Products: Novatti, being a payment solutions company, might offer other products or services that benefit from the AUDD's adoption, driving revenue through those channels.

7. Partnerships & Integrations: The broader adoption of AUDD through partnerships, collaborations, and integrations with other platforms or services could indirectly lead to revenue. For instance, if AUDD becomes widely used for remittances or cross-border transactions facilitated by partners, Novatti could benefit from associated fees or service charges.
   

   Estimating a "reasonable annual earn" for a stablecoin issuer like Novatti for their AUDD stablecoin, based on 2021 figures, would require a few specific pieces of data:

   1. Total Volume of AUDD Transactions in 2021: This would give us a sense of the scale of activity.
   2. Fee Structure: This includes any transaction, issuance, redemption, or other fees associated with AUDD.
   3. Average Interest Rates on Australian Dollar Reserves: If Novatti earns interest on reserves, knowing the average rates they secured in 2021 would be crucial.
   4. Operating Expenses: This includes costs associated with maintaining the platform, regulatory compliance, security, and any other overheads.
   5. Other Revenue Streams: Such as spreads on exchanges, affiliated product earnings, or income from partnerships and integrations.

   Without the above data, we can only speculate. However, I can help you with a hypothetical calculation if you provide some assumptions or figures.

   For a very rough and hypothetical example: (with lots of unknowns with ifs and buts)
   

   Suppose AUDD saw a total transaction volume of $1 billion in 2021. If Novatti charged a 0.1% fee on average across all transactions, that would result in $1 million in revenue from transaction fees alone. Add to that potential earnings from interest on reserves, spreads, and other services, and the total revenue could be higher. Of course, from this revenue, you'd have to subtract the operational costs to get a net profit or "earn."

   Please note that this is a very rudimentary and hypothetical example. The real figures would likely be more complex and influenced by various factors. If you have specific figures or assumptions in mind, I can help further refine the calculations.
