Christine Lagarde, president of the European Central Bank, recently stated:

“The global economic order is fracturing.”

In this lucid analysis, she discusses a world that is gradually shifting from a unipolar system (dollar dominance) to fragmentation into competing geopolitical blocs.

But behind this global transition, one question arises: and where does crypto fit into all this?

1. Multipolarity = weakening of the dollar

When the world divides, currencies do too.

In the face of the rise of the BRICS, Asia, and new regional balances, the supremacy of the dollar is being challenged.

This opens up space for:

• alternative currencies (yuan, strengthened euro, BRICS currency),

• but also for neutral benchmarks, like Bitcoin.

2. Crisis of trust = rise of decentralized assets

Fragmentation makes interbank transfers riskier, SWIFT systems more vulnerable, and access to capital more restricted depending on the region.

In this context, more and more actors are turning to:

• decentralized stablecoins (DAI, USDT, USDC off exchange),

• open blockchains, without geopolitical barriers.

3. Crypto as a systemic response

In a world that is fracturing, crypto is not just a simple alternative:

it becomes a parallel global infrastructure, neutral, resistant to censorship and fragmentation.

What Christine Lagarde describes as a danger for traditional finance…

resembles a strategic opportunity for decentralized technologies.

Conclusion

The fracture of the global order, far from being a threat to crypto, could actually accelerate its adoption.

In a world where trust is weakening, crypto offers a different path:

that of individual sovereignty, transparency… and resilience.
