What Are the Risks of Using Stablecoins for Diversification within a DAO Treasury?

While stablecoins mitigate cryptocurrency price volatility, they introduce other risks to the DAO treasury. The primary risks are de-pegging risk, where the stablecoin loses its intended 1:1 peg to its reserve asset (e.g.

Regulatory risk is also a factor, as stablecoins face increasing scrutiny, which could affect their liquidity or utility.
