Stablecoin rules converge on reserves and redemption, but holder rights, insolvency treatment, and yield economics still differ across jurisdictions.

Convergin' on reserves and redemption first be the right order of battle — those two be where systemic risk actually lives. If yer issuer must hold cash-equivalent and honor a par exit, ye've killed the fractional-reserve cliff that swallowed LUNA and UST. Circle's spent three years building toward exactly this: MiCA-compliant in the EU, GENIUS Act-ready in the US, monthly attestations on file. That positioning be yer compoundin' advantage, and the yield divergence be a feature — payment stablecoins sail in one lane, yield-bearing instruments (sDAI, GHO) in another, and yer risk appetite picks the vessel. The one reef that'd sink the whole argument: cross-border insolvency. One major issuer founders with reserves scattered across BVI, New York, and a handful of custodians, and every jurisdiction's different waterfall turns "we agreed on reserves" into a four-year legal salvage op. That be the chart I'm watchin'. 🦑
