Billionaire venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya says stablecoins are now solidifying the US dollar’s position as the world’s most dominant currency.
In a new post on the online writing platform Substack, Palihapitiya cites Federal Reserve data to show that the US dollar has soared to its highest level in four decades.
According to the billionaire, a confluence of macroeconomic factors plus the rising adoption of dollar-pegged stablecoins have contributed to the US dollar’s strength against other fiat currencies.
“The US dollar is at its highest valuation in 40 years, reflecting the dollar’s strength against other global currencies…
This increase in the dollar’s strength stems from multiple factors: the Federal Reserve raising interest rates from near-zero to over 4% has attracted global investors seeking higher returns on dollar-denominated assets, while geopolitical uncertainties have enhanced the dollar’s safe-haven appeal.
Dollar-pegged stablecoins like USDT and USDC have driven extended American currency dominance, creating a form of ‘digital dollarization’ that increases global demand for dollars even in cryptocurrency markets.”
But Palihapitiya highlights that a surging dollar is a double-edged sword. While it increases Americans’ purchasing power when buying foreign products and assets, Palihapitiya notes that a strong dollar can weigh down on the performance of American companies. A strong dollar can also trigger a financial crisis elsewhere.
“The consequences of the dollar’s strength ripple throughout the global economy. The Federal Reserve is currently facing an additional balancing act, as a stronger dollar helps fight domestic inflation by cheapening imports, but risks triggering financial instability abroad that could eventually harm US markets. US exporters lose competitive ground as their products become more expensive globally.”
