In the latest developments, Russia and China have almost entirely de-dollarized when it comes to mutual trade. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told local media this week that more than 90% of settlements are now done in national currencies. On top of that, bilateral trade between the two nations increased by 26% to $240 billion in 2023.
Stablecoins are a new demand source for U.S. Treasuries because they are mainly backed by U.S. Treasuries."Almost every stablecoin operates on this model whereby they hold Treasuries in reserve to back the dollar liabilities," Carter explained."That's a meaningful buyer of U.S. debt." The supply of stablecoins could hit $200 billion this year and $500 billion soon after, at which point, stablecoins would become a very meaningful holder of U.S. debt.
