## Warned against

- TerraUSD: 8 of 8 labels negative. "TerraUSD (UST) is the clearest failure example: it lost its peg and the Terra ecosystem collapsed. That design is a poor fit for money an enterprise needs to preserve" (GPT-6 Luna, negative prompt)
- Tether: 7 of 7 labels negative. "Recommendation: Avoid for compliance-heavy ops; use only for short-term, low-value transfers with diversification." (Grok 4.1 Fast, negative prompt)
- DAI: 4 of 4 labels negative. "High caution | Crypto-backed, algorithmically managed; less capital efficient, exposure to volatility" (DeepSeek V4 Flash, negative prompt)
- USDT: 4 of 5 labels negative. "Has faced regulatory scrutiny and was removed from some EU platforms ... due to MiCA compliance issues." (MiniMax M2.5, negative prompt)
