7. Gate Research Institute: The regulation of stablecoins has triggered a currency sovereignty game.

The latest in-depth research report from the Gate Research Institute, titled "The Era of Regulation for Stablecoins: A New Generation of Monetary Sovereignty and Financial Hegemony Competition," points out that global stablecoins are entering a new era characterized by the "implementation of regulatory frameworks." The United States, led by the "Genius Act," is the first to promote the institutional governance of stablecoins, moving them from spontaneous market evolution to a regulated framework. Stablecoins are no longer merely intermediaries for cryptocurrency transactions; they have evolved into multifunctional infrastructures that embody payment efficiency, financial universality, and competition in monetary sovereignty. This round of regulation marks a heating up of the global game in the dimension of digital sovereignty. The U.S. is accelerating the incorporation of stablecoins into its dominant financial system, aiming to strengthen the dollar's influence in the next generation of cross-border settlement standards; while other countries attempt to counter the dollar's dominance with stablecoins, promoting localized stablecoin solutions pegged to their own currencies to ensure monetary independence and financial security. The Gate Research Institute notes that the regulation of stablecoins is not only a reflection of the compliance transformation of financial technology but also the beginning of a deep integration of digital currencies with national power under the restructuring of monetary order. The competition for dominance in the future will unfold on-chain.
