# The importance of stablecoins to the united states
If you ever needed a reason to be bullish crypto, this chart shows how bullish Stablecoins are for the US dollar.
Show me the incentives, and I'll show you the outcome.
While we (the US) have been wildly mismanaging our finances, allowing our politics to become downright embarrassing, and stifling innovation every fucking chance we get...
We luckily happened to be in the right place (world's reserve currency) at the right time (global crypto adoption).
Through no fault of our own, we are about to ride one of the most important trends in the history of humanity into continued economic dominance.
Dollars will become even more so the winner-take-all reserve currency denominator since everyone will denominate their crypto in Stablecoins.
AND the more Stablecoins are used, the more US government debt is being purchased, as the business model is to take in 1 USD of fiat, mint 1 USD of crypto, then turn around and use the fiat to purchase treasury bills and capture that yield as profit.
I'm not sure if you've noticed, but the US government DESPERATELY needs someone else to buy US debt.
This is likely the only real incremental next buyer to increase their holdings in a big way, as other countries who have historically done so (Japan & China) are slowing down their purchases of our debt.
This has led to Tether (USDT) and Circle (USDC) being together the 18th largest holder of US treasuries (debt).
Last time I checked, Stablecoins have been around for an extremely short period of time compared to these other countries on the list.
Over time I predict that ranking to jump dramatically. Luckily for us crypto natives, this means eventually team red and team blue must both root for crypto to succeed to proliferate their budgets.
On top of this, as artificially intelligent agents begin transacting (see Coinbase's recent announcement) between each other (robot to robot), they will need to utilize financial infrastructure.
What is more likely for them to choose in their quest for 0.000000000001%+ optimized efficiency?
- **Option A)** USD fiat banking rails / SWIFT with unlimited government/private intermediaries, enormous % transaction fees, and long settlement times (days to weeks)
- **Option B)** Non-USD fiat banking rails / BRICS with the same drawbacks as before with even more incompetence and corruption (if that's possible) lurking right beneath the surface
- **Option C)** Cryptocurrency working on the most modernized financial rails available with NO intermediaries, negligible open market determined flat fees, and in some cases instant settlement times (seconds to at worst minutes)
Now, combine these phenomena of the USD being challenged, crypto hitting mainstream adoption with Stablecoins proliferating USD like never before, and the rise of ai agents who will need to transact autonomously at scale in very short order. Bullish.
