US Treasury Signals Stablecoin Growth Could Boost Dollar Dominance

Under President Donald Trump's administration, significant moves are underway to integrate and regulate cryptocurrency markets, reinforcing the U.S. dollar's dominance and advancing crypto adoption. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent highlighted the potential of stablecoins to boost demand for U.S. Treasuries and reduce national debt, with the GENIUS Act progressing through Congress to regulate stablecoins by mandating reserves and federal oversight. Trump has expressed strong support for this legislation, aiming for its enactment by August. Meanwhile, crypto figures like Patrick Bet-David have pointed to Trump's announcement of a U.S. crypto strategic reserve as a catalyst for XRP's potential surge, noting XRP's institutional adoption and possible role as a SWIFT replacement, despite ongoing regulatory challenges. In parallel, Tron founder Justin Sun is capitalizing on the deregulation environment by merging Tron with a Nasdaq shell company, supported by political figures including Eric Trump, signaling a politically infused crypto market revival. These developments occur amid cautious crypto market behavior influenced by geopolitical tensions and Federal Reserve policies, while institutions continue to increase their crypto exposure.
