Stablecoins are indeed centralized. That's why when people say that stablecoins are the solution, i always roll my eyes. Native assets in blockchains like Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana etc can't be freezed as they are native assets in decentralized networks.

Stablecoins are more like a bridge for fiat. So that it's only partially decentralized not all that terrible.
