The executives & politicians that run USDC & USDT have total control over future Ethereum hard forks. When a fork occurs, stablecoin issuers will only follow one path. Not both. DeFi on the path they abandon will suffer an apocalyptic death, rendering the chain uninhabitable.

If an infrastructure layer is critical, diversity of clients is a must. For stablecoins, 87% of the market = controlled by 2 companies. This dual point of failure poses a systemic risk.

Tether's 1.48B profit equates to a 7.9%APY This is 67% higher than the risk-free rate. The 7.92% APY alone should already ring some bells! Most likely the extra return is associated to risk. Risk that is taken by the depositor.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin says that centralized stablecoins like Circle's USDC have the potential to become “significant deciders” in future "contentious" hard forks. cointelegraph.com/news/vitalik-centralized-usdc-could-decide-the-future-of-contentious-eth-hard-forks
