Pros	Licensed or exempt across 45 US jurisdictions as a FinCEN-registered MSB Zero-basis-point fiat on-ramps and off-ramps with reserve yield sharing Independent CPA reserve attestations published every month Supports stablecoin issuance and routing across 30+ networks	Over $90 billion in liquidity on the Tron network alone Completed a full independent US GAAP financial statement audit by KPMG U.S Maintained a reserve surplus over liabilities of $6.814 billion at year-end 2025 Supported across virtually every major centralized exchange and trading pair
Cons	No direct retail access or consumer application Mandatory KYB verification with no anonymous API endpoints Centralized contracts include token freeze and clawback functions Geographic licensing scope is centered primarily on the United States	European spot trading pairs delisted under EU MiCA regulatory requirements Issuer retains smart contract authority to freeze token balances arbitrarily CFTC found reserves were fully backed on only 27.6% of days in 2016-2018 No direct yield paid to retail stablecoin token holders
