Stablecoins only use the accoutrement of blockchain as smoke and mirrors to distract and confuse regulators, not because they actually benefit from it at a technical level. They aren't really decentralized at all and could just as easily be a database, except for the regulatory thing

No, the core upside is that it lets you check what the model is thinking for safety/alignment reasons. Nothing to do with monitoring user activity. You can monitor user activity just as well without looking at CoT.
