The Global Currency at a Crossroads: The Future of the U.S. Dollar Amidst Digital Shifts

The U.S. Dollar is Everywhere

The U.S. dollar is really important in the world’s economy. It’s used in 9 out of 10 deals between countries and in 4 out of 10 deals, it’s the money people agree to use when they write down what they’re selling or buying. Even in the world of new digital money, like USDT and USDC, which are like digital dollars, the U.S. dollar is the most used, accounting for 99% of all the digital dollar deals.

Because so many deals use the U.S. dollar, the people who make rules in the U.S. have a lot of power over how money moves around the world. This is because these dollar deals are done electronically, which means they have to follow U.S. rules.

New Kinds of Digital Dollars

But now, there are new kinds of digital dollars called synthetic dollars. These are special because they are like the U.S. dollar, but not exactly. They’re made up of different things, not just real dollars, and computers help keep their value the same as real dollars.

These new digital dollars are interesting because they can be used in big deals without having to follow all the U.S. rules. But they’re also a bit risky because their value can change quickly if the things they’re made of change in value.

What the U.S. Might Do

With these new digital dollars becoming more popular, the U.S. has to think about what this means for its rules and power over money around the world. To keep its power, the U.S. might need to use these digital dollars that are backed by real U.S. dollars in a better way, making sure they fit into the rules.
