If it’s the same risk then why does it pay more than T bills? Regardless, the issue is the misrepresentation, not the actual assets (which most people don’t believe add up to the total anyway, right?)

If they took the 1 USD backing the coin and invested it in US government bonds so that only a fraction is immediately available (but a large enough fraction to cover the most likely withdrawal rates) then it would be fine with me though they should advertise that more clearly. If they take the money and invest it in ‘good’ companies, that is too much risk to the underlying assets. Though I’m American and could see foreigners not thinking US bonds were safe enough.
