That is why I liked stablecoins which were fairly decentralized as the original concept of Dai by Makerdao was. It was over-colateralized by Ethereum and people were free to engage with the smart-contract and issue as much stablecoins as they desired, as long as they had enough Ether to give as collateral, there were no centralized power and the smart contract was open source, for anyone to see and verify, it was a step in the right direction, but people preferred to rely on centralized Fiat backed coins instead, now we could be about to see the consequences of it...
Obviously exchanges and hot wallets will asked by regulators to comply and switch all the capital of their depositors to those centralized networks, without asking the owners of the tokens.
I agree with you there. Even though i see other plausible problems of purely decentralized services. One of them being need to comply with centralized services in order to be adopted, or even allowed.

And other thing i am worried about decentralized anything is potential exploits, similar to DAO hack in 2016. And more trust we place on something, bigger the fall will be if that happens.
I guess when enough people would lose money, rollback would be possibility, even though it's against the idea of blockchain being immutable.
