A picture to understand the difference between stablecoins and digital currencies In 1930, the United States told the world not to hold gold, gold is inconvenient, just hold the dollar, the dollar is bound to gold, every $35 ounce, you can pick it up at any time. In 1970, the United States told the world that the dollar was the dollar and gold was gold. Gold rose sharply against the dollar, don't say I can't pay my debts, now my gold reserves are enough to pay off. In 2030, the United States will tell the world not to hold US dollars, just hold "stablecoins", it is inconvenient to have more US dollars, stablecoins are bound to US dollars, you can exchange US dollars at any time. In 2070, the United States told the world that the US dollar is the US dollar, the stablecoin is the stablecoin, and the stablecoin has risen sharply against the US dollar. Asking for debt one by one is like urging life (laughs) If in the next few decades, the United States will regain control of the world's scientific and technological productivity and the dollar will remain strong, then the "stablecoin" will depreciate sharply, and then kick it into the stinky ditch, and then throw the pot to the king of understanding. If the next few decades are not far ahead, then this "2070" will come faster. From a benign point of view, this is also a way of distributing wealth, after all, the old Americans in 2040 will have dollars in their hands, and young people's salaries may be paid in stablecoins. This thing is actually very easy to understand, the father (USD) pours all the assets into the stablecoin (son) and then takes all the liabilities on himself, the father goes to jail, the son becomes a rich man, and finally comes to the father. Chinese people should be familiar with this thing. As for the process, for example, in 2040, dividends of U.S. listed companies must be paid by stablecoins, corporate income tax must be paid by stablecoins, and capital gains taxes must be paid by stablecoins. When these high-quality entities hold a large number of stablecoins, they naturally hope that the stablecoins will appreciate and the US dollar will depreciate, which is a collective will. Isn't the essence of this world that the store bullies the customer, and the customer bullies the store? It's a game, so be happy.
What are the three major cryptocurrency bills passed by the U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly? Among them, the GENIUS Act will clarify the rules for the issuance and operation of stablecoins pegged to the US dollar at the federal level, claiming to "strengthen the position of the US dollar in the global financial system". The Clarity Act is a market structure reform bill that deals with the division of regulatory powers for digital assets. The Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act permanently prohibits the Federal Reserve from issuing digital currencies (CBDCs). In fact, brothers look back at the history of financial innovation a lot, financial innovation itself is the coexistence of risk and return, sometimes brings huge economic heat, sometimes brings financial risk, we will also find a game route, It is the trade-off between financial innovation and financial supervision, and the long-term judgment criterion is mainly: the meaning of the existence of finance itself is to serve the real economy, and at the same time can better allow the people to participate in economic investment and obtain distribution from growth, if these two points can be done and can stand the test for a long time, then it is a good financial innovation, some financial innovation is very good at the beginning, and there will be problems with it. For example, the real estate-related financial derivatives that caused the 2008 global financial crisis were followed by a check to fill the gaps, and of course, they also paid a huge price for government debt. The so-called three major cryptocurrency bills are essentially regulatory bills, or financial regulatory bills that lag behind financial innovation, such as stablecoin regulation, digital asset regulatory power division, central bank digital currency hairstyle restrictions, etc. For financial innovation, the most feared is regulation, and the favorite is also regulation, but the people are different, such as the lack of regulation can bring a huge pool of funds and the space created by Ponzi, and after crazy growth, there is still no shortage of investment speculators, this has happened too many times, so I won't say much. The favorite of financial innovation is also regulation, only regulation, in order to better develop under the official rules, regulation itself is also a kind of endorsement, different from the mixed market is more standardized. The stablecoin bill and the digital asset market clarity bill are easier to understand, that is, to regulate financial innovation, the most noteworthy is actually the third bill, that is, the national bill to restrict anti-central bank digital currency monitoring, the purpose is to restrict the central bank (Federal Reserve) from issuing digital currency to the public, precisely to provide space for stablecoins and other digital assets to survive, it has been discussed many times before, it is completely two things, the central bank's digital currency is centralized, lost physical cash, is the government's endorsement, the central bank's liability , while virtual currencies such as stablecoins are decentralized, and the composition of credit endorsement is more complex, and it is indeed worth paying attention to restricting the rights of the central bank for the development of the latter. As an aside, contrary to the development of digital assets in our country, our country is dominated by the central bank's centralized digital currency, supplemented by some compliant stablecoins, and the compliant stablecoins now seem to be mainly "offshore RMB collateralized" and "Hong Kong dollar collateralized" stablecoins, vigorously promoting the central bank's digital yuan, which is the opposite of the development model of digital assets in the United States. The two development models have nothing to do with right or wrong, because it is a new thing, there are benefits and risks, the former focuses on benefits, our country focuses on risks, and it will take time to verify which one is better. Finally, the U.S. government vigorously develops stablecoins, especially stabilisation-collateralized stablecoins, if the proportion of the global settlement system increases, it is conducive to the continuation of U.S. financial hegemony in the emerging settlement system and economic globalization, and the government's bond issuance in the future can even not rely on deficit monetization, that is, the central bank buys treasury bonds, thereby increasing the supply of dollars in the market, and now stablecoins can also buy treasury bonds and enter the market circulation, the U.S. dollar and U.S. bonds are both U.S. credit, U.S. debt-collateralized stablecoins, is a relatively broad sense of holding hegemony. In addition, the position of the Federal Reserve has also been divided, the issuance of digital currencies is strictly restricted, and the absolute importance of US bonds in the past has given way to the US dollar, which will be suppressed by stablecoins, which is generally a process of weakening the position of the Federal Reserve and increasing the number of US bond collateralized stablecoins. The above is just talking about the basic situation, as for whether the hegemony of the US dollar can be consolidated to drive the US stock currency circle to take off, first of all, the credit of the United States is the embodiment of comprehensive influence, the stablecoin is just a financial tool, and whether it can better serve the United States and global trade is the ultimate evaluation standard, especially the progress of the reshaping of the United States' own manufacturing industry, it is still to be observed, financial innovation, no matter how beautiful the design is, the risk always appears in unexpected places, after the supervision is implemented, first run under the existing financial supervision.
