U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent believes stablecoins will enhance the U.S. dollar's global dominance.
Bessent stated that stablecoins could become significant buyers of U.S. Treasurys, potentially securing dollar supremacy.
He defended cryptocurrencies against skeptics who view them as a threat to the U.S. dollar, calling digital assets crucial and ignored by governments.
The U.S. Senate passed a bill paving the way for regulated, dollar-backed stablecoins, with President Trump endorsing it to make the U.S. a leader in digital assets.
Trump urged House lawmakers to swiftly pass the stablecoin bill, aiming to advance pro-crypto legislation.
Major companies like JPMorgan Chase, Apple, Bank of America, Walmart, and Amazon are eyeing the stablecoin sector, potentially leading to a market worth trillions.
Bessent predicts the stablecoin market could reach $3.7 trillion by the decade's end.
