Crypto Czar Suggests Stablecoins for Sustaining US Dollar Supremacy

Key Points

  • David Sacks, the White House’s AI and crypto authority, believes stablecoins could boost U.S. dollar dominance.
  • Senator Bill Hagerty has introduced the GENIUS Act to regulate stablecoin transactions.

David Sacks, the White House’s AI and crypto authority, held a press conference recently with other GOP officials. The conference was held to discuss President Donald Trump’s plans for the digital asset landscape in America.

Stablecoins and U.S. Dollar Dominance

Sacks argued that stablecoins, which are fiat-pegged dollars operating on blockchains, could bolster the global dominance of the U.S. dollar. There are ongoing policy discussions suggesting that new regulations may require market players to hold reserves predominantly in U.S. Treasury Bills.

Recent developments on February 4th suggest that the Trump administration may prioritize stablecoin regulation. Senator Bill Hagerty has introduced the GENIUS Act, a piece of legislation designed to clarify rules and establish standards for a critical sector of crypto transactions.

Exploring a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve

When asked about Trump’s promises regarding a Bitcoin (BTC) reserve, Sacks stated that investigating the “feasibility of a strategic BTC reserve” was a top priority for the crypto council. The U.S. currently holds the largest sovereign BTC reserve, with approximately 207,000 BTC, mostly obtained through criminal seizures.

Senator Cynthia Lummis has proposed a plan that would increase this reserve and alter laws to permit the Treasury Department to hold BTC. Sacks, however, did not comment on whether a U.S. sovereign fund would accumulate cryptocurrencies, suggesting that questions on the matter be directed to the soon-to-be Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.

The Future of Crypto Policy

Also in attendance at the press conference were Senate Banking Committee Chair Tim Scott, House Financial Services Committee Chair French Hill, Senate Agriculture Committee Chair John Boozman, and House Agriculture Committee Chair G.T. Thompson.

Representative Hill confirmed that both houses of Congress intend to expedite and coordinate the development of crypto policy through joint working groups. The four pro-crypto lawmakers announced that their committees had, for the first time, established dedicated subcommittees focused on digital assets.
