US Lawmakers: Stablecoin Is the Key to Strengthening the Dominance of the USD
A U.S. senator emphasized that a tightly regulated stablecoin market is necessary to maintain the global dominance of the dollar, modernize payments, and expand financial access without excessive government intervention. Legislators debate the role of Stablecoin in ensuring the future of the US dollar Chairman of the French Hill House Financial Services Committee (R-AR) emphasized that a tightly regulated stablecoin market is necessary to maintain the global dominance of the US dollar in the congressional hearing on March 11. The hearing titled "Navigating the Digital Payment Ecosystem: Considerations for Federal Reserve Oversight of Stablecoins and the Implications for U.S. Dollar" examined how stablecoins could strengthen the position of the dollar in international finance. Legislators affirm: A tightly managed stablecoin market can strengthen the dominance of the US dollar, modernize payment infrastructure, and promote financial inclusion without government intervention. The committee has discussed the STABLE Act, aimed at providing clear management standards for stablecoin issuers while ensuring compliance with financial regulations. Hill emphasizes that stablecoins have contributed to the impact of the dollar by facilitating global transactions and reducing barriers in cross-border payments. He emphasizes: Every day, there are billions of dollars in stablecoin transactions, helping to minimize barriers in cross-border payments, rationalize commercial transactions, and provide many communities with wider access to digital financial tools. The committee has been working on the stablecoin law since 2022, and the STABLE Act has been updated to reflect input from stakeholders to enhance operational standards and regulatory oversight. By ensuring that stablecoins operate within clear legal frameworks, lawmakers aim to enhance their role in international finance while strengthening the dominance of the dollar as the world's primary reserve currency. Hill also warned that a central bank digital currency (CBDC) could undermine the competitive advantage of the dollar by concentrating financial power in the federal government. He argued, "A government-controlled digital dollar would directly compete with the private sector and undermine the very progress that stablecoins are achieving". Instead of strengthening the dollar, he believes that CBDCs could "stifle competition, pose risks to financial privacy, and weaken the role of the U.S. banking system." The hearing also referenced Representative Tom Emmer's State Supervision of CBDCs Act to prevent excessive government intervention in digital currency. Hill reiterated the committee's commitment to ensuring the U.S. remains a leader in financial innovation, with stablecoins playing a crucial role in maintaining the global dominance of the dollar.
