Greenback Godfathers: How the USD Clings to Global Dominance in a Digital Age

The dollar’s throne wobbles as DeFi protocols hit $100B TVL and BRICS nations push dedollarization—yet Uncle Sam’s currency still controls 58% of global reserves. Here’s the playbook.

Petrodollar 2.0: Treasury’s digital dollar pilots with Swift could automate sanctions enforcement—talk about weaponized finance.

Debt Domination: With $34T in federal IOUs, the world remains trapped in a ’too big to fail’ monetary hostage situation.

Crypto Co-option: BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF approval signals institutional capture—they’ll protect dollar hegemony even while trading Satoshis.

The real kicker? After 80 years running the global casino, the house always wins... until the chips become decentralized.

What Should the US Dollar Do to Maintain Its Global Supremacy?

First and foremost, the White House and the Feds must forget foreign countries and focus on maintaining macroeconomic stability in the homeland. This means that they need to reduce the national debt and bring back the lost confidence in the US dollar.

Trust in the US dollar is what made the currency great, which is now eroding due to the $36 trillion debt. The White House must also tackle inflation and bring it under 2% and remain consistently below the number for more than a year.

Secondly, and after the first point is taken care of, the US must start focusing on foreign countries. It includes strengthening global alliances and reaffirming free trade agreements that benefit both sides. In this way, the US can remain the center of global commerce, reinforcing confidence in the US dollar.

Finally, the White House must take bold steps and be the leader in digital currency and fintech, not just the US dollar. Other countries are racing ahead in CBDCs and other fintech solutions, while the US is lagging. Staying ahead of the curve WOULD make emerging economies dependent on the US for new technological updates.
