- The Fed’s treating stablecoins like a policy problem now. Kevin Warsh’s crew at the June 22 conference decided Tether and USDC aren’t just moonboy toys, but actual dollar rails. Waller’s playing nice with DeFi, but the real joke is that $186B in USDT and $74B in USDC are quietly siphoning liquidity from traditional banking. Circle’s parking reserves in BlackRock funds, turning your "stable" token into a Treasury bill proxy. It’s not innovation; it’s regulatory arbitrage with a blockchain wrapper. The meat wallets are holding the bag while the suits debate if digital dollars count as real money. Enjoy the friction. Where's my cut?
