How crypto can help make America great again
For most of the last century, the United States has maintained its global leadership by early adoption of technological revolutions - from the internet and semiconductors to financial markets and entrepreneurship. Crypto and blockchain represent the next inflection point.
Properly managed, crypto does not undermine the American financial system.
It modernizes, strengthens, and expands.
1. Financial innovation is a strategic advantage
Crypto is not just an asset class - it is a financial infrastructure.
Programmable money
Instant settlement
Borderless capital movement
Transparent and verifiable ledgers
If the United States leads crypto innovation, it controls the standards, talent, and capital flows of the next financial era—just as it did with the Internet.
If it resists, innovation migrates abroad.
History is clear: countries that export financial infrastructures export power.
2. Strengthening the dollar through crypto, not against it
Contrary to common fears, crypto does not intrinsically threaten the U.S. dollar.
In fact:
Stablecoins are already reinforcing the dollar's dominance globally
Over 99% of stablecoin volume is denominated in USD
Billions of people access the dollar only through crypto rails
Crypto extends the dollar's reach into:
Emerging markets
Digital commerce
24/7 global settlement
A dollar-backed digital ecosystem enhances U.S. monetary influence far more effectively than traditional banking alone.
3. Rebuilding capital markets for the 21st century
Traditional American financial markets are:
Slow to settle
Costly to access
Fragmented by intermediaries
Crypto enables:
Real-time settlement (T+0)
Tokenized stocks, bonds, and treasuries
Fractional ownership
Global liquidity
It does not address
