Stablecoins are centralized and their end is regulation. We are in a moment of history where they can get away with not being regulated because regulators don't really understand them yet, but it will happen whether it's in months or decades.

"You buy $20,000 of Solana (SOL), a restricted cryptocurrency. You’ve now used $20,000 of your $30,000 annual limit. If you want to purchase more crypto, you are limited to buy a maximum of $10,000"
