๐จ Trump’s Secret Crypto Sauce ๐คซ
- Trump’s Master Plan: Use stablecoins to make the U.S. dollar so dominant, it’ll make other currencies weep with envy ๐คฃ
- Stablecoin bills introduced, because who doesn’t love a good game of “Regulatory Catch-Up”? ๐โโ๏ธ
According to Forbes (aka the Trump Administration’s diary), stablecoins are now a key player in the game of “Keep the U.S. Dollar on Top” ๐. Top officials and a Federal Reserve governor spilled the beans, because, why not? ๐คทโโ๏ธ
In March, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent (no relation to the B-Team, we hope) announced at the White House crypto summit:
โWeโre gonna think really hard about stablecoins… and, you know, keep that dollar on its throne ๐.โ
And, in a shocking turn of events, Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller echoed similar sentiments in February, proving that great minds think alike… or at least, similarly ๐.
Stablecoin Frenzy: Because Who Doesn’t Love a Good T-Bill? ๐
Secretary Bessent dropped a knowledge bomb: stablecoins are the new cool kids buying up U.S. Treasury bills (T-bills). Tether’s USDT is living its best life, with:
Tether’s CEO, Paolo Ardoino, proudly proclaiming, “Hey, we’re the 7th largest buyer of U.S. T-bills! ๐ (Just behind Canada and Mexico, but who’s counting? ๐คซ)
In 2024, they snagged $33 billion worth of T-bills. USDT, the world’s largest stablecoin, is backed by T-bills, cash, and other cash equivalents (aka the adulting version of “under the mattress”).
Circle’s USDC, the second-largest stablecoin, also joined the T-bill party to keep that 1:1 peg to the dollar ๐ธ. Currently, over 99% of the $234 billion stablecoin market is dollar-pegged, giving the U.S. a solid high-five ๐.
This stablecoin craze has attracted everyone from crypto newbies to governments, because who doesn’t love a good bandwagon? ๐ช This week, Trump-linked World Liberty Financials launched USD1, while Fidelity tested a similar product (aka the “we’re not late to the party, we’re just fashionably delayed” approach ๐บ).
Paypal, Stripe, Visa, and other banks are also jumping into the cross-border payments pool, because why not? ๐โโ๏ธ
Paolo Ardoino wisely noted, “The stablecoin multiverse is inevitable” ๐. To keep up, the U.S. Congress introduced two stablecoin bills, the GENIUS and STABLE Acts, because what’s a crypto party without some regulatory clarity? ๐
