In the Market: How the US is daring the world to find a dollar alternative

- The United States is merrily chipping away at the pillars that hold up the dollar as the world's reserve currency, with the latest blows coming from some powerful Americans questioning the rule of law following the conviction of Donald Trump.

These conversations showed consternation is growing, both at home and abroad, about the consequences of U.S. hubris. But despite trying, no one so far has been able to find a credible alternative or expects one to emerge anytime soon, and they have partly themselves to blame. The belief in democracy runs deep. Last week, I asked U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler, who has been in government since 1997, whether partisan politics had made the job of officials like him harder. A conservative-leaning U.S. appeals court had struck down one of his signature initiatives that morning.Nevertheless, the messiness is testing some of the underpinnings of the dollar's global appeal.

An October 2021 Treasury Department review of sanctions found such designations had increased to 9,421 by that year from 912 in 2000. It noted at the time that "American adversaries — and some allies — are already reducing" their use of the dollar.
