Peter Schiff Criticizes Rising Stablecoin Adoption Amid U.S. Regulatory Debate
Gold advocate and economist Peter Schiff has intensified his critique of dollar-pegged stablecoins, calling them economically nonproductive for the U.S. His remarks coincide with Senate deliberations on the GENIUS Act, which could determine whether yield-bearing stablecoins gain legal recognition.
Stablecoin usage now faces scrutiny beyond crypto circles, with Schiff arguing these instruments fail to support Treasury financing or domestic growth. The debate highlights a growing divide between traditional finance skeptics and proponents of blockchain-based dollar alternatives.
