Stablecoins face a deeper structural problem than just market dominance. According to financial analysts, the real issue isn't "too big to fail"—it's "too connected to fail."
Here's the concern: stablecoin issuers maintain significant political ties. Private capital flows connect these companies directly to top-tier political circles. More critically, their asset reserves are anchored to U.S. government debt. This creates a troubling dependency: when stablecoins are backed by Treasury instruments, any pressure on these issuers inevitably impacts both the crypto ecosystem and government debt instruments simultaneously.
The problem runs deeper than regulatory oversight. It's about systemic entanglement—where financial innovation becomes inseparable from political influence and sovereign debt dynamics. This concentration of power raises questions about stability, independence, and whether these platforms can truly operate without state pressure.

Basically, stablecoins have long been hijacked by politics. Still want independence? Dream on, buddy.

Basically, stablecoins have long been pegged and cannot be independent at all. Politics + debt + crypto, this love triangle is truly incredible.

Basically, stablecoins are not that independent at all—political manipulation and bond manipulation, double locking.
