Saw this article from Coindesk talking about stablecoins and their impact on the dollar. Basically, it suggests they won't really help long term, especially with T-bond values dropping like crazy.
Will the GENIUS Act Actually Help the Dollar?

Yeah, I mean, countries have been ahead of the US in this stablecoin game for a while. The US isn’t the first mover, just the loudest. Plus, CBDCs are already out there, looking to make cross-border transactions easier.

Gold is on fire right now. It's almost like it’s stealing the show from the dollar. With gold prices skyrocketing, are we heading into another inflation storm?
The GENIUS Act does seem to emphasize stabilizing local currencies. Every country should push their own stablecoins instead of just relying on the dollar or euro.
Honestly, it seems like the main goal for those in power is to fill their pockets while they can. They’re not really focused on saving the dollar.
Gold’s definitely the go-to investment for many right now. Silver? Not so much. It’s lagging behind despite some interest.

Not sure how relevant this is, but comparing Brazil to Japan in the article was a stretch. Japan isn’t exactly welcoming for migrants.
Regulatory clarity is nice, but the idea that stablecoins can save the dollar is kinda naive. The dollar needs more than just that.
You might be onto something. Even with stablecoins, the dollar’s dominance as the reserve currency seems shaky. Trump's policies are already impacting it.
Isn’t it funny that even with the largest stablecoins being USD-backed, they still can’t compete with crypto? Maybe that's an edge for the US?
The whole silver vs gold debate feels like Bitcoin vs Ethereum. They both have their uses, but gold is just more appealing.
Trump has his reasons for weakening the dollar. Cheaper exports? Sure. But we’re paying the price with expensive imports.
The dollar’s value dropped because confidence in the debt kept weakening. Policy changes aren’t helping either.
This decline in the dollar’s strength isn’t just about Trump. It goes back years. The world is losing trust in the US.
Yep, and with countries pushing for de-dollarization, it’s only going to get worse. BRICS is gaining traction.

But calling Russia a giant is a bit much, huh? They’re struggling economically and politically.

True, Russia is facing big challenges, but their size and alliances can’t be ignored.
Just because they’re big geographically doesn’t mean they’re stable economically. Their war and sanctions have hurt them.
The dollar is still holding on, though. It’s a dominant currency despite the challenges.
You can say that, but the movement towards other currencies is real. The dollar’s days might be numbered.
