Re-Dollarization in 2025: 3 Power Plays to Crush the Yuan & Euro Threat

The dollar''s throne is under siege—here''s how the US plans to fight back.

1. Weaponizing financial infrastructure

SWIFT 2.0 isn''t coming—it''s already here. New blockchain-based settlement layers let USD bypass traditional channels entirely.

2. The digital dollar arms race

FedNow was just the beginning. CBDC prototypes now process cross-border payments 73% faster than China''s e-CNY.

3. Debt domination reloaded

Treasuries are getting a DeFi makeover. Tokenized bonds could lock foreign reserves into dollar assets indefinitely.

Will it work? Maybe. But let''s be real—when has the US ever lost a currency war it was willing to cheat at?

Three Ways Re-Dollarization Can Gain Momentum

1. Securing Trade Leverage

The US dollar is king for a reason. The world economies have long been trading in USD, a fact that remains unchanged to this day. While the changing geopolitical narratives with multipolar currency regimens have weakened the US dollar’s stance, the American currency still stands tall when it comes to recent trade metrics and stats. Per a recent Barchart report, the US dollar currently accounts for 50% of global payments, the highest level in more than 12 years.

In addition to this, one key element that could help establish dollar dominance back in the game is deepening USD trade alliances with major economies and economies. Such ties can help USD flourish and help gain superiority over currencies such as the yuan and euro, helping reinstate re-dollarization back into the domain.

2. Digital Dollar/Stablecoin to Assert Dollar Dominance

The TRUMP administration is particularly keen on deploying stablecoins as an effective means to assert its dollar dominance. Scott BesSent, the secretary of the US Treasury, has been documented stating multiple times how stablecoins can be one of the most effective ways for other economies to engage with the US dollar, thereby bolstering the currency’s value in unprecedented ways. If the aforementioned mechanism is deployed officially, US dollar metrics can fly off the charts, making the currency a leading asset to interact with in the whole world. This will also help assert the re-dollarization narrative, eliminating other currency competitors out of the way.

3. Energy Market Control

If the US wants to gain back its USD dominance, then the government must assert control in the energy market domain. This may include strengthening trade of energy products and services in USD to ensure that the world continues to leverage USD while making energy deals across the domain. This development will help redollarization narratives to gain steam, helping USD gain back its lost prestige and valuation.
