PETER SCHIFF: THE FUTURE OF STABLECOINS BELONGS TO GOLD, NOT THE DOLLAR 💲

Peter Schiff, an economist and staunch advocate of gold, has repeatedly argued that the future of stablecoins does not lie in their peg to the US dollar, but rather to gold. Schiff contends that the dollar, as fiat currency, is on an inevitable path toward devaluation due to the relentless printing of money and the growing deficits of the United States.

For Schiff, gold is real money and the ultimate store of value, with thousands of years of history demonstrating its reliability. In contrast, the dollar has only maintained its status as the global reserve currency since 1971, when Richard Nixon removed its direct convertibility to gold, opening the door to unlimited monetary expansion. This policy, according to Schiff, has undermined the dollar's purchasing power and put it on a trajectory of "free fall."

Schiff predicts that as global confidence in the dollar declines, dollar-backed stablecoins will be negatively impacted. Instead, he advocates for stablecoins backed by physical gold, which would offer users the stability and security that the dollar can no longer guarantee. He sees tokenized gold, leveraging blockchain technology, as a modern and efficient way to restore a de facto gold standard, allowing for global transactions with an asset of intrinsic and real value, without the downsides of transporting the physical metal. For Schiff, gold is not just a commodity, but money, and its resurgence in the realm of stablecoins is a logical consequence of the inherent weakness of fiat currencies.
