Sam Lyman: \u201cBitcoin doesn\u2019t need America. America needs Bitcoin.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

Dollar stablecoins, Sam Lyman says, are \u201clike Starlink for the US dollar system\u201d: if you have an internet connection, you can access the dollar. Because those tokens are backed by Treasuries, buyers are \u201ceffectively buying U.S. treasuries,\u201d which he sees as a way to shore up demand for U.S. debt. He cites estimates that the U.S. stablecoin market could be above $3 trillion by the end of the decade \u2014 \u201c$3 trillion of new demand for U.S. debt.\u201d He also calls stablecoins, \u201cin many ways,\u201d \u201ca gateway drug to Bitcoin,\u201d and argues the setup can help the United States, stablecoin users, and Bitcoin over the long term. <\/p>\n
