What happens when this thing depegs like UST and all the other unstablecoins?
This doesn't look like it is backed by anything other than a few companies.
We don't need all these unstablecoins or crypto scam coins.
We need something like FedNow or CBDCs that are completely safe, made by banks, regulated has chargeback protection and protects consumers.
This is not to say that there can't be liquidity challenges or "black swan" events, but the current iteration of stablecoins are _comparable_ to being "made by banks" and are certainly regulated.
This still doesn't answer the many other unstablecoins in existence offered to unsuspecting retail customers, USDT, USDC, GUSD, USDG, OUSD, USDS, USDD, USDGO, TUSD and the myriad of other confusing unaudited, risky and pointless coins.
Why do we need so many stablecoins?
I am willing to bet that at least one or two of them will completely depeg in less than 5 years.
Re: why do we need _so many_, I tend to agree but it's the equivalent of "USD" in the banking system really being a wide range of deposits at different institutions, with different underlying balance sheets (banks fail regularly, and are regularly backstopped by eg. the FDIC!). There is clearing infra being built around this problem (increasing fragmentation of deposits between stablecoins/etc), just like it was a problem for the old world in which clearinghouses emerged
Under the current and thankfully last (Trump) administration who wants to make a quick buck and grift from crypto coins.
I can only hope that a future (hopefully democrat) government comes in unwinds all these crypto policies since it only promotes grifting.
