It's a net gain for them as these tokens are not redeemable anymore, they can keep the underlying USD ?

Anyway synthetic USD through DLCs are much needed for those who want to escape Bitcoin volatility and still keep self custody of funds...

If they can freeze your addresses how is that considered self custody?

You are either completely censorship resistant or censored. There is no in between.

I expect some people to try very hard to impose this on US miners.

Rejoice, citizen! Turns out we had a CBDC all along. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

A nice slap in the face to Elizabeth Warren.
