Looking back at modern history, you will discover a terrifyingly simple rule:
Whoever sets the next generation's "protocol/standard layer" controls the dominant power of a certain system in the next generation.
This is not theory; it is a reality that has been repeatedly verified over the past few decades:
Who set the standards for TCP/IP? — The United States. As a result, who holds the power over the global internet infrastructure? The United States.
Who leads SWIFT? — The U.S. camp. Therefore, the settlement rights, freezing rights, and sanction rights of the global banking system are naturally held by the United States.
Who set the GAAP accounting standards? — The United States. Subsequently, the global corporate financial reporting system speaks in its language.
These things seem like technology, like processes, like rules…
Essentially, they are all the "source code of the next generation's wealth operation rules."
And why is the United States so actively promoting the Genius Act and Project Crypto this year?
The reason is very straightforward:
The United States wants to set the underlying standards for the next generation of the "crypto asset era" in advance.
Whoever writes the standards writes the power structure of the future financial system.
There has never been an exception to this in history.
