Why couldn't a privacy focus coined, like Monero, be a stablecoin?

You don't need to see where the coins are and move to promise $1 of going for every coin.

Probably the founders/employees of the company issuing/redeeming the token would be arrested very quickly. Tornado Cash people got arrested for much less.

How are you guaranteeing that your private stablecoin will keep its $1 value?

How are you bootstrapping a network to validate private transactions without the promise of potential gains in coin value as its popularity takes off?

Who makes that promise? That's who you are ultimately trusting.
