Three stablecoin balances can still hide one concentrated risk. 🔎
Different tickers, wallets or chains do not automatically mean diversification. Before parking crypto funds, map the dependencies:
• Issuer and reserves: do the assets rely on the same entity or collateral?
• Token type: is it issued natively on that chain, or a bridged claim with extra failure points?
• Custody: are all balances on one exchange or in one lending protocol?
• Exit: who can redeem, on what terms, and how liquid is your trading route?
Stablecoins can be useful for payments and reducing exposure to crypto price swings. But depegs, issuer freezes, custody failures and bridge exploits remain possible. Yield adds another layer of risk; it does not make the peg safer.
Count independent failure points—not just tickers.
