This is the worry of globally-available USD stablecoins. By swapping the volatility from crypto to lower USD volatility, they effectively create a funnel from riskier currencies into dollars. Which is the same state that previously existed... except now facilitated by the crypto industry's global accessibility/UX and with less international regulation. Blessing USD stablecoins at the US federal level was a smart move (from the US-perspective) as it creates a much bigger demand for dollars, and if the US didn't do it then China or OPEC would have eventually gotten around to it as an end-run around dollar hegemony.
