"Too big to fail" in crypto primarily refers to systemically important assets like major stable coins and large exchanges.
Key examples include:
Tether (#USDT ): Largest stable coin, deeply integrated with traditional finance via its vast U.S. Treasury holdings.
USD Coin (#USDC ): Another significant, regulated stable coin.
Major Exchanges: Their failures could transmit market shocks.
A separate, volatile meme coin on #solana is literally named "Too big to fail" ( #TBTF ).
