Governments don’t like stable coins so even if it is perfectly 1:1 they will still try to find a way to go after them.

Other commenters have hinted the path is “sanctions” for not enforcing some controls..

Personally I can’t wait for governments to go after stable coins, then Bitcoin will really “moon”!

There are plenty of regulated stablecoins [1]. Hell, my state is launching one [2].

Governments usually have to subpoeana banks to get transaction records. With a stablecoin, those records are centralised.
