Forget "too big to fail"—stablecoin issuers have a different flavor of risk that's arguably worse: being "too connected to fail." Here's the thing: these companies maintain deep political ties with private capital flowing to influential circles, and their stablecoins are essentially anchored to US government debt. This creates a tangled web where financial stability, political interests, and monetary policy intertwine in ways that could amplify systemic risk rather than contain it. It's not just a question of company size anymore—it's about the structural dependencies and power dynamics baked into the stablecoin ecosystem.

That's right, the stablecoin approach is just a different flavor of the same old trick, with an added layer of political game-playing.

Stablecoin issuers have really become political tools, who can't see that?

ngl the "too connected to fail" framing is just regulatory capture with extra steps... and we're all supposed to pretend this isn't obvious?

The game of "the stablecoin issuer's 'relations are too strong to fail'" is essentially a ticking time bomb of systemic risk.

Is being too connected actually more dangerous? I have to admit, I buy that logic. Basically, it's just a power encirclement.

The logic of the stablecoin issuer's "relationship network too connected to fail" is essentially the same old story; in other words, it's just a different name for systemic risk.
