IMF enables coordinated devaluation of fiat currencies. They need to prevent sovereigns from leaving dollar standard.

I belive they were "helping" somebody during 3AC - FTX saga. But I may be wrong.

Probably UMA. If I remember correctly

Not yet. Lightspark brought KYC into LNURL.

Not really. It was rather 2fa feature.

Similar model existed in GreenAddress / Green wallet

It is cyclic. It is embedded. Since LN provably put many transaction offchain (it is not me who proved it is surprisingly US FED), we have relatively low fees now. Some new tokenization protocols increased them for a short time which is consequence of them being onchain. So the pressure is adequate to adoption levels.

High pressure > Tech for scaling > Low pressure > Higher adoption > ...

You think it half way. Fiat channels is just a go-to-market strategy to ease pain of e.g. TRON USDT. It's all may serve well to the Bitcoin-only economy because it allows for example bitcoin-priced commodity futures contracts. Lending too at least for when fiat currencies still exist.

It is just lightning offloading plenty of stuff off-chain. Pressure exists

Nothing. It is a bounty.

And they suggest to mint stablecoins. No wallets available.

We had a product and did even present it to you.

Definitely. We ran a synthetic stable native to Lightning and have gotten very toxic responses sometimes. But always these were westerners. It is unlikely they have challenges when saving in Bitcoin.

Yes. Some users could open hosted channels via OBW and because it was relatively robust wallet, it didn't really require much maintenance so people could use it still.

Give a discount for a territory and I will bring Russian Bitcoin channel from telegram.

Simple Bitcoin Wallet also ceased supporting Lightning due to ongoing war.

You mean basically that purchasing power increased. Generally I agree that people exercise it during transaction settlement.
