  • The modern financial system runs on a form of dollars that most Americans have never heard of Eurodollars. Will they be replaced by stablecoins?

The article by Boaz Sobrado for Forbes, published on February 1, 2025, discusses former President Donald Trump's proposal to replace Eurodollars with stablecoins, potentially creating a $10 trillion market opportunity. Trump's vision involves leveraging blockchain technology to issue dollar-backed stablecoins, aiming to reduce the influence of Eurodollars, which are U.S. dollars held in banks outside the U.S. This move is seen as an attempt to bring back control over the dollar's global circulation, enhance the U.S. financial system's stability, and possibly counteract the de-dollarization trend. The article explores the implications of this shift, including potential benefits like increased transparency, reduced transaction costs, and the geopolitical ramifications of such a financial overhaul. However, it also notes the challenges and skepticism regarding the feasibility and acceptance of this plan both domestically and internationally.
