The $USTC
Re-Peg Dream Dies
This is the biggest negative. The CLARITY Act (building on the GENIUS Act) explicitly excludes algorithmic stablecoins from legal payment stablecoin status.
What this means:
USTC can never be a legally recognized U.S. payment stablecoin
Any exchange offering USTC as a stablecoin faces regulatory risk
The community's 1 narrative (re-peg to $1) becomes legally impossible
$LUNC price could crash when the market realizes the re-peg is dead
