in singapore last year i gave a talk called "cryptodollarization". the idea is dollarization via stablecoins. now with the GENIUS act about to pass and bessent's comments about stables reaching $3.7T (!!) (13% of M3), i believe stablecoins are being unleashed as an economic weapon to dollarize the rest of the world and help reset the US fiscal position. cryptodollarization has happened already, arguably in venezuela, argentina (partial), and nigeria (partial). i believe it's much more aggressive than conventional dollarization, which is often limited by availability of physical banknotes. I believe that in a decade there will be many fewer sovereign currencies and most weak nations will be dollarized – not through USG intervention but by a spontaneous "bottom up" process (this happened in Ecuador in 99/20 as described by larry white). in effect consumers engage in currency substitution and force the government's hand. stablecoins eliminate the power of borders in currency choice and allow network effects to actually take hold. this is why we see the dollar representing >99% of stablecoins but only 40-60% of international reserves and financial flows. stablecoins make currency substitution must faster and more aggressive, and they are also ~impossible to stop. in almost all cases where nation states have attempted to prohibit flows out of local FX into USD stablecoins, they have eventually relented. in my talk I built a simple model to try and guess where these spontaneous crypto-dollarizations might occur (see the last couple slides). i wanted to revisit this talk because these predictions have become much closer to reality in the last 12 months. the government is saying the quiet part out loud: stablecoins are an economic weapon to passively dollarize the entire planet. slides: https://t.co/SOwQ8YfqM0 video:

the right analogy for stablecoins is starlink for money starlink brings billions online for the first time // stablecoins bring billions into a flat, egalitarian financial system + give billions first time access to USD the utility of both is not that apparent if you have great infrastructure already, but it's still pretty handy for redundancy in developed world + essential in markets where infra is lacking both are totally independent parallel infrastructure that reimagine how things could be done. no reliance on old infra starlink for money
