Vincent Mortier, Chief Investment Officer at Amundi, warns that legislation requiring stablecoins to be fully collateralized could undermine the dollar's dominance.
Mortier believes stablecoins, if backed 1:1 with U.S. assets, may become competition for the dollar instead of strengthening it.
The GENIUS Act, which sets requirements for stablecoin issuers, could pave the way for corporate-backed digital dollars and a $3.7 trillion market by 2030.
While some see opportunity in stablecoin regulation, concerns are raised about potential disruptions to global finance, particularly regarding the role of issuers acting like banks.
