Treasury Secretary: Dollar-Linked Stablecoins Could Hit $2 Trillion, Bolstering Global Dollar Power
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says dollar-pegged stablecoins could reach a $2 trillion market cap within a few years—a “very reasonable number” that could even be exceeded. Bessent argues this explosive growth would strengthen the dollar’s position as the world’s reserve currency, as stablecoins backed 1:1 by U.S. Treasury bills and other high-quality assets become more widely used for payments and global transactions. New legislation, supported by Congress and the administration, aims to ensure these stablecoins are fully backed and regulated, boosting both demand for U.S. government debt and the dollar’s reach worldwide.
2025年,美国前总统唐纳德·特朗普家族主导的稳定币项目USD1引发全球关注。这场看似寻常的金融创新背后,实则暗藏政治权力、家族利益与美元霸权延续的复杂棋局。 一、政策开路:特朗普为家族企业铺路 特朗普政府通过《稳定币法案》和《GENIUS法案》,为私营机构发行美元稳定币大开绿灯,同时禁止美联储发行央行数字货币(CBDC)。这种政策倾斜被指为家族企业World Liberty Financial(WLFI)铺路——该公司由特朗普控股60%,并享有稳定币项目75%的收益分成。通过立法将稳定币纳入监管框架,特朗普既规避了传统金融体系的限制,又为自家稳定币赋予了“合法背书”。
