Hello, this is Nastya and TCP-MARKET.
Couldn’t pass by such a symbolic photo. (And it’s real, by the way)
USAID is leaving — what’s next? A world without America's 'soft power' and a new window for cryptocurrencies.

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), which has long served as a tool of U.S. 'soft power', is reducing its presence in several countries and, according to insider reports, is preparing for a large-scale withdrawal of programs. This news remains in the shadow of major headlines, but for those who can read between the lines, it is a turning point.
What is USAID?
For decades, USAID has funded humanitarian, educational, and infrastructure projects in over 100 countries. Formally — aid. Informally — a tool of influence and market restructuring to meet Washington's needs. Where USAID is present, American NGOs, managed reforms, and consequently, sustainable dollar control follow.
Why is this important?
The withdrawal of USAID means the following:
1. Reducing the influence of the dollar in peripheral markets.
2. Opening up space for alternatives — including digital currencies.
3. Growth of regional sovereignty and alternative financial systems.
And this means that the crypto market, especially stablecoins and crypto-financial ecosystems, is receiving a unique window of opportunity.
Who benefits?
Platforms providing peer-to-peer payments, as well as infrastructures not tied to SWIFT, the dollar, or Western regulators. Scenario for 2025: former USAID aid recipients are seeking new ways to obtain funding, trade relations, and stable assets.
What does it look like?
At the end of the era of colonial banks and the beginning of the era of digital settlements. Where USAID once held the economy through loans and support programs, a new type of crypto-ecosystem may emerge — more decentralized, but better integrated into local interests.
The role of TCP-MARKET in this reality
Projects like TCP-MARKET already take this transformation into account. We are building a system in which digital debt obligations (TCPcredit) and utility tokens (TCPcent) facilitate settlements between countries without the need for dollars or cross-border banks.
Where USAID leaves, real needs remain — and new mechanisms to satisfy them:
P2P trading.
Digital credits without banks.
Transaction insurance in blockchain.
Local logistics with a global settlement system.
What does it mean for investors and crypto enthusiasts?
This is not just geopolitics. It is a shift in the architecture of global capital flows. And it is moving towards decentralization.
The future belongs not to those who own oil, but to those who manage trust.
And in a world without USAID, trust will be built not on ideology, but on algorithms.
