Circle's competitor Paxos is using IntraFi Network and Reich & Tang Deposit Solutions for BUSD according to their reports (https://paxos.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/BUSD-Monthly-St...) and has obtained insurance for most of their balances in excess of FDIC insurance limits.

How much of a resident do you have to be in the U.S.? Just an address you can receive mail at: https://www.postscanmail.com/. They have a ton of locations, if you want no state income tax + high CoL (for employers doing adjustments): Seattle. Note there's some issues with using these types of addresses (specifically those designated as Commercial Mail Receiving Agencies by the USPS) with some banks and credit card issuers. Probably your employer would be fine with this.

To understand why many people think the same re. animals, perhaps trying a different starting point might help: why single out humans? There's fairly good arguments (https://www.animal-ethics.org/the-idea-that-only-humans-are-... and the linked papers are a good resource) to be made that many other species have a similar capability to have positive and negative experience (sentience) which are not just citing 'common sense' or similar weasel-words, instead actually looking into the neuroscience of pain and other suffering.
Preferably I would like to fly to Mainland China soon for business and also personal reasons and would be willing to stay in 14 days' quarantine for that, but it's still proving difficult due to visa paperwork (a so-called "PU letter" is needed) issues.
