What Is the Advantage of Using a Decentralized Stablecoin over a Centralized One for Settlement?

The primary advantage is the reduction of counterparty and censorship risk. A decentralized stablecoin is managed by smart contracts and governance, not a centralized entity, making it resistant to government seizure or freezing of funds.

This aligns with the trustless nature of decentralized derivatives, ensuring the settlement medium remains available and permissionless.
