💵 Stablecoins are not "draining" banks, but reconstructing the blood vessel system of the US dollar.
Many people see stablecoins rising and banks shrinking, and shout: “The banking system has been drained!” But the reality is quite the opposite — the US dollar is upgrading. The money behind USDC hasn't disappeared; it has shifted from commercial banks → directly into T-bills and RRP at the Treasury. This isn't digging a hole; it's changing lanes. Since 2008, the Federal Reserve has fully adopted a new framework of excess reserves + interest rate corridor, and the traditional "monetary multiplier runaway" model has long been thrown into the trash. In other words: 👉 Stablecoin expansion ≠ central bank losing control 👉 Instead, it may become a new engine for US dollar globalization Banks will indeed feel the squeeze, but don't forget: A country won't block more efficient models just to protect outdated industries. E-commerce impacts offline retail? Still develops. Now it's the US dollar system's turn to upgrade itself. The essence of compliant stablecoins: The second growth curve of the US dollar and US bonds. A new weapon in the empire’s toolbox, not an external enemy.
