This topic wasn’t the main agenda, yet it became one of the most discussed themes during my training recently on stablecoins and RWA (Real World Asset) tokenization, delivered to the technology teams of a leading APAC bank.

What stood out clearly is this:

One of the most misunderstood narratives today is that crypto threatens the U.S. dollar. In reality, it is the opposite and crypto (particularly Stablecoins) quietly strengthens it.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘀? Stablecoins are essentially digital dollars. They are designed to remain worth $1, and to maintain this stability, issuers hold real U.S. dollars or short-term U.S. Treasury Bills as backing.
So when someone in Asia, Africa, or Latin America uses a stablecoin, they are effectively using a digitized version of the U.S. dollar, backed by U.S. government debt.

Every digital dollar created through stablecoins requires buying U.S. government debt.

𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀:
• 𝙐𝙎𝘿𝙏 (𝙏𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧) is the largest stablecoin by market capitalization, with about $185 billion worth of tokens in circulation. According to its recent attestation, more than 83% of Tether’s reserves are in U.S. Treasury Bills, amounting to over $122 billion worth of the “risk-free” government debt securities. This puts Tether within the top 20 T-bill holders
• 𝙐𝙎𝘿𝘾 (𝘾𝙞𝙧𝙘𝙡𝙚) is backed primarily by short-dated U.S. Treasuries, meaning stablecoin growth directly translates into additional demand for U.S. government bonds. ($73 billion in circulation)

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁:
• As stablecoin adoption rises, demand for U.S. Treasuries automatically increases
• Stablecoin issuers tend to be consistent buyers of short-dated Treasuries.
• The U.S. government gains a diversified global funding base

Sustained demand helps compress Treasury yields, which in turn:
• Supports more stable borrowing conditions
• Helps keep U.S. government financing costs structurally competitive
