Trump recently encountered a big problem; he told the media that he wanted to deposit $1 billion, but was directly rejected by two major banks, JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America. This sounds quite absurd, after all, Trump is not an ordinary person; he has been the President of the United States, and he can't even deposit his money.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is not just an ordinary banking issue. The reasons given by the bank may be many, but the real reason is likely related to Trump's recent support for cryptocurrencies, especially the promotion of 'decentralized stablecoins.'
What are decentralized stablecoins? In simple terms, they are a type of electronic currency that does not rely on intermediaries like traditional banks, allowing for faster transfers and lower fees. This directly challenges the traditional banks' revenue—banks have made a lot of money from cross-border transfers and settlement services, and now Trump’s new approach is essentially undermining the banks.
This situation makes me feel that there are actually two forces in contention: one is the traditional banking system, and the other is the emerging crypto finance. Trump's recent 'rejection' feels more like a warning.
So what can we ordinary people learn from this? I have three points:
First, where you put your money really can't all rely on others. If major banks can refuse even the president's money, how much more for ordinary people? This also reinforces my belief that the emphasis on 'having control over your own assets' in cryptocurrencies is justified.
Second, although traditional institutions still have a voice now, they are actually afraid. Why such a strong reaction? It’s because the momentum of crypto finance is unstoppable, and they can only defend desperately. The financial rules of the future will surely change.
Third, projects like decentralized stablecoins have great potential in the future. They are not just empty concepts but can genuinely solve pain points in traditional finance. Therefore, I believe that stablecoins that are technically sound, comply with regulations, and can be practically applied deserve long-term attention.
Ultimately, the banks' rejection of Trump seems strong on the surface, but it actually exposes the anxiety of the traditional model. Whenever technology drives change, the old forces always resist, but what is meant to happen will still come.
The bank president feels that what we are seeing now may only be the beginning of a major upheaval in the financial world.
