Stablecoins can secure U.S. dollar dominance: Trump’s crypto czar

David Sacks, Trump’s crypto czar, said stablecoins could potentially strengthen U.S. dollar dominance just hours after Senator Hagerty proposed the GENIUS Act. White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks hosted a press conference alongside other GOP officials to outline President Donald Trump’s vision for America’s digital asset landscape. Sacks stated that stablecoins, fiat-pegged dollars running on blockchains, could help reinforce global U.S. dollar dominance. Policy discussions on the matter suggest that new regulations may require market participants to hold reserves almost exclusively in U.S. Treasury Bills. Developments on Feb. 4 indicate that Congress may prioritize stablecoin regulation under the Trump administration. Indeed, Senator Bill Hagerty introduced the GENIUS Act to clarify rules and establish standards for a critical sector of crypto transactions.

The U.S. is currently the largest sovereign BTC holder, with approximately 207,000 BTC—mostly acquired through criminal seizures. A proposal from Senator Cynthia Lummis would enlarge this stockpile and change laws to allow the Treasury Department to hold BTC. Sacks, however, declined to comment on whether a U.S. sovereign fund would accumulate cryptocurrencies. “You’ll have to ask soon-to-be Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick about that,” Sacks replied.

During the conference, the four pro-crypto lawmakers announced that, for the first time, their committees had established dedicated subcommittees focused on digital assets. Read more:
