The countdown for the $USDC altcoin has already begun.

Once the beautiful country's stock market is fully tokenized, compliant stocks will be able to circulate on-chain and be listed on exchanges. Those altcoins that are propped up by empty promises and storytelling will basically have to pack up and leave.

COIN is doing this, turning on-chain securities into the mainstream. Many stocks that have just IPO'd have a market value of only tens of millions or a couple of hundred million, which for retail investors is not much different from small-cap coins - but at least they are regulatory compliant and have real business operations.
