What if the very tools we hailed as the future of financial freedom were quietly dismantling its foundation?

In Stablecoin Endgame, R. V. Cross delivers a sharp, deeply researched analysis of how stablecoins—once celebrated as innovation's answer to crypto volatility—are evolving into instruments of control. Behind the rhetoric of decentralization and disruption lies a hidden architecture of dependency, surveillance, and engineered collapse. This is not a book about price charts or speculative tokens. It’s about power, architecture, and the consequences of replacing public money with corporate IOUs dressed as digital assets.

Drawing from economic history, monetary theory, and real-world policy shifts, the book exposes the subtle erosion of autonomy baked into stablecoins and their surrounding ecosystems. From the illusion of full reserves to the trap of algorithmic collateral, each chapter builds a compelling argument: stability was never the goal—it was the bait.

Whether you're a crypto enthusiast, a policymaker, a financial professional, or a concerned citizen navigating the digital economy, Stablecoin Endgame challenges you to rethink what “innovation” really means—and what we risk losing in the name of convenience.

This is not just a warning. It’s a map of how we got here, and what the next collapse may look like—unless we change course.
