Stablecoins are a crypto barometer.

They're crucial to the crypto ecosystem, but they're also highly centralized. #USDT, in particular, holds a monopoly and carries significant risk.

Here are some numbers and my thoughts on stablecoins. 🧵

1/10 Image The market capitalization of stablecoins has been experiencing a decline for over six months. As per the most recent data, it stands at $129 billion, a significant fall from the previous year's value of $186 billion.
