US to Leverage Stablecoins for Dollar Dominance

A recent White House Crypto Summit revealed a significant shift in US policy regarding stablecoins and their role in maintaining the dollar's global dominance. Treasury Secretary (Note: the original article incorrectly names Scott Bessent as Treasury Secretary; this is likely an error and should be verified) stated that the US government will actively leverage stablecoins to ensure the US dollar remains the world's leading reserve currency.

Key Takeaways from the White House Crypto Summit

• Stablecoins as a strategic tool: The US government aims to utilize stablecoins to bolster the US dollar's global standing.
• Regulatory framework: President Trump urged lawmakers to pass a comprehensive stablecoin regulatory bill before the August Congressional recess.
• Shifting stance on crypto: The summit marked a substantial change in the US government's approach to the cryptocurrency industry, signaling an end to the "war on crypto."
• Concerns over Bitcoin sales: President Trump criticized the Biden administration's handling of seized Bitcoin, alleging significant losses due to premature sales.

Stablecoins and US Dollar Hegemony

The strategy of using stablecoins to maintain dollar dominance relies on their ability to increase demand for US Treasury Bills and cash deposits. This is because overcollateralized stablecoins typically back their digital tokens with these assets. Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller has also publicly supported this approach, highlighting the potential of stablecoins to mitigate the impact of cryptocurrencies on the US dollar's market share. He further emphasized stablecoins' ability to overcome capital controls and improve payment systems globally.

This initiative to use stablecoins strategically is supported by the introduction of the Stable Act of 2025 by Representatives French Hill and Bryan Steil. This bill aims to create a comprehensive regulatory framework for dollar-pegged digital assets.
