UST and the other ones were "algorithmic" stablecoins collateralized poorly -- USDC and OUSD (eg.) are collateralized under the regulation of the OCC / by USD-equivalent short-term bonds etc.

This is not to say that there can't be liquidity challenges or "black swan" events, but the current iteration of stablecoins are _comparable_ to being "made by banks" and are certainly regulated.
