With Strip, Circle, and Tether successively launching their own dedicated chains, I would like to discuss two viewpoints:
1) Impact on Ethereum layer 2:
Layer 2s are all striving to find ways to inherit the security of the mainnet more safely, but they overlook a fact: the core demands of major clients like Strip, Circle, and Tether that can truly bring mass adoption opportunities to L2s are not decentralized security, but rather full-stack control from minting to settlement.
Moreover, the commercial interests of Sequencer income, MEV, and gas fees, which can be fully pocketed, have no reason to further share with L2. More importantly, when regulatory inquiries or urgent "compliance" issues arise, having a dedicated chain can clearly meet the risk control requirements of TradFi more quickly and efficiently.
So this matter is related to Ethereum layer
