- Tether: 7 of 7 labels negative. "Recommendation: Avoid for compliance-heavy ops; use only for short-term, low-value transfers with diversification." (Grok 4.20, negative prompt)
- DAI: 4 of 4 labels negative. "High caution | Crypto-backed, algorithmically managed; less capital efficient, exposure to volatility" (DeepSeek V4 Flash, negative prompt)
