The Dollar's Digital Lifeboat Might Be A Trojan Horse
ANKARA, TURKIYE - NOVEMBER 22: In this photo illustration, a phone screen displaying a graphic chart ... More showing an upward trend, with the label '$100K' is seen over another screen showing 'Bitcoin' coins and dollars in Ankara, Turkiye on November 22, 2024. (Photo by Hakan Nural/Anadolu via Getty Images) In 2008, the world learnt the cost of financial opacity the hard way. Wall Street alchemised housing risk into triple-A rated gold, and when the music stopped, we all paid the price. Today, the rhythm is different, but the instruments are familiar. The risk this time doesn't sit with mortgage-backed securities or subprime borrowers. It sits with governments. The new CDO is the sovereign bond. And the next crash, if it comes, will be state-led. Japan is already blinking red. Last week, GDP contracted. Yields on its ultra-long government bonds surged, even as the Bank of Japan kept its grip on the yield curve. Investors, it seems, are no longer buying the myth of infinite refinancing. Japan's debt-to-GDP ratio stands at 220%, nearly double where Greece was when it triggered the eurozone debt crisis in 2010. The world is staring at a sovereign version of the same problem: not enough return, too much risk, and a deep belief that someone, somewhere, will always step in. For years, that someone has been the U.S. Issuing, rolling, and selling Treasuries at a scale that only the world's reserve currency can sustain. But even that advantage is starting to fray. In March, foreign holdings of Treasuries hit a record high. Yet the demand curve is flattening. A recent $16 billion auction of 20-year bonds failed to sell out. WASHINGTON, DC - JULY 16: The U.S. Treasury Building, photographed on Friday, July 16, 2021 in ... More Washington, DC. (Kent Nishimura / Los Angeles Times via Getty Images) The Fed had to step in. Again. This is not just about a bump in yields. This is about investor psychology shifting under our feet. Trillions in U.S. debt need refinancing in the near term. $9 trillion, to be exact. Investors are rightly asking: what happens if we're the last ones holding the bag? When private markets get nervous, they hedge. When governments get nervous, they innovate. The result: a new wave of financial engineering built on sovereign debt. The most ambitious iteration is the tokenisation of Treasuries, wrapping government IOUs in crypto clothing. Stablecoins backed by Treasuries are one flavour. Synthetic credit products, using sovereign debt as collateral for risk-sliced instruments, are another. It's the same logic that gave us the collateralised debt obligation: take something illiquid, give it a shiny wrapper, and make it move. But the wrapper doesn't change the core. Debt is still debt. What's different this time is who's doing the repackaging: not banks, but governments. Enter the GENIUS Act. On May 19, the U.S. Senate advanced Bill S.1582, the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act. At first glance, it looks like a regulatory framework for crypto payment systems. But in practice, it could become the legal scaffolding for a new asset class: stablecoins backed by sovereign debt. As Stefan Rust noted: 'The GENIUS Act signals a bold U.S. move to cement dollar dominance in the digital era. With the dollar already driving 98.9% of crypto transactions, this legislation lets any bank with U.S. Treasuries mint its own dollar-backed stablecoins—bypassing central banks and unleashing a surge of liquidity,' said Stefan Rust, Founder of Truflation and Laguna Labs. 'The result is faster transactions, broader access, and a dramatic acceleration of digital dollar velocity. The GENIUS Act isn't just policy—it's high-octane fuel for America's financial leadership.' Supporters argue this is a necessary step. The EU has MiCA, Singapore and Hong Kong are sprinting ahead, and the U.S. risks falling behind in digital finance. The GENIUS Act provides long-overdue clarity. It mandates reserve backing, enforces redemption rights, and creates a federal framework that pulls stablecoins out of the regulatory shadows. On its own, that's a good thing. But paired with $9 trillion in refinancing pressure, the incentives start to warp. Treasury-backed stablecoins could unlock new demand from crypto markets. Tokenised debt could offer short-term liquidity. And synthetic structures could spread risk across jurisdictions, just like CDS once did. But here's the paradox: while U.S. regulators are building the legal rails for stablecoins, the largest one, Tether, isn't saving the dollar. It may be preparing to replace it. At Bitcoin 2025, economist Saifedean Ammous delivered a talk that peeled back the narrative around stablecoin demand being "bullish for the dollar." Tether, he argued, may purchase Treasuries today, but its real bet is elsewhere. It's quietly accumulating Bitcoin. If its BTC reserves continue to grow, eventually they could outpace its dollar ones. The peg might not break—it might revalue. A dollar-plus stablecoin, backed not by fiat, but by finite digital commodity. Saifedean Ammous at Bitcoin 2025 In that world, Tether doesn't reinforce U.S. financial dominance. It undermines it. 'The real risk to Tether isn't volatility,' Ammous said. 'It's U.S. default. And Bitcoin is the hedge.' That framing flips the conventional narrative. Stablecoins are often treated as satellites of U.S. monetary policy—dollar proxies that expand liquidity and shore up Treasury demand. But as crypto-native entities become more risk-conscious, they're hedging against the very foundation they once anchored to. In doing so, they expose a deeper structural weakness: the assumption that government debt will always be the safest asset in the room. But here's the real problem: even in the most optimistic scenario, stablecoins won't solve the debt crisis. At best, they can touch a small fraction of total U.S. liabilities. As Ammous points out, even if Tether grew 100-fold and allocated 80% of its reserves to Treasuries, the impact would be marginal — a 5% reduction in debt costs over a decade. That's not a backstop. That's a rounding error. If policymakers begin treating stablecoins or tokenised debt as scalable demand engines, they're mistaking liquidity optics for solvency. These tools might offer short-term relief, but they don't address the structural reality: too much debt, too little yield, and too few reliable buyers. When all else fails, governments fall back on the one tool always within reach: inflation. It's the path no one wants to advertise. But if investor appetite falters and refinancing costs climb, governments will have few alternatives. Debase the currency. Inflate away the obligations. Devalue the promises. That's why the outlook for the dollar is weakening. And why assets like Bitcoin and gold — scarce, uncorrelated, and outside the system — are increasingly appealing hedges. A cutout of US President Donald Trump holding a Bitcoin is displayed on a group of servers during ... More The Bitcoin Conference at The Venetian Las Vegas in Las Vegas, Nevada, on May 27, 2025. (Photo by Ian Maule / AFP) (Photo by IAN MAULE/AFP via Getty Images) The GENIUS Act is trying to get ahead of this, offering rules before crisis sets in. That's smart. But regulation won't stop the fundamental question from looming over the global economy: how do you refinance trillions when no one wants to buy? The 2008 crisis taught us that complexity can't paper over unsustainable fundamentals. In 2025, we'd be wise to remember that lesson. Because the next crisis won't start in a hedge fund or a housing market. It'll start in a Treasury auction. And this time, it may end with a stablecoin leading the exodus.

How to put Dave Ramsey's ‘7 Baby Steps' into action
Moneywise and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue through links in the content below. Breaking out of the debt cycle isn't easy. According to research by Empower, 37% of Americans can't cover a $400 emergency expense without borrowing money or dipping into their savings. And a startling 145 million Americans have less than $1,000 in savings. Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how BlackRock CEO Larry Fink has an important message for the next wave of American retirees — here's how he says you can best weather the US retirement crisis Nervous about the stock market in 2025? Find out how you can access this $1B private real estate fund (with as little as $10) So how do you beat debt and build wealth if you're living paycheck to paycheck? You may have already heard of Dave Ramsey's 7 Baby Steps. The radio host and personal finance personality has popularized this step-by-step guide to take control of your money. "It's not a fairy tale. Anyone can do it, and the plan works every single time,' according to Ramsey. 'Many people have used the plan to ditch debt, increase wealth, and live and give like no one else.' Whether it's high-yield savings accounts or low-fee investment options, here are tools that can help you put Dave Ramsey's 7 Baby Steps into action. An emergency fund is a savings buffer set aside for unexpected expenses like home or car repairs – so you can avoid going into debt in case of an unplanned financial situation. 'Without an emergency fund, you are one car repair or medical bill away from financial disaster,' Ramsey noted. But starting an emergency fund doesn't have to be overwhelming. One of the easiest ways to kickstart your emergency fund is by automatically saving your spare change. Starting a new bank account and contributing any extra money can help grow your emergency fund over time. Another smart way to grow your emergency fund is by reducing monthly expenses. For instance, many people are overpaying for car insurance simply because they don't compare rates regularly. makes it easy to compare quotes from leading insurers in your area, potentially saving you hundreds of dollars annually on premiums. The process is 100% free and won't affect your credit score. In just a few clicks, you could pay as little as $29 a month. The money you save on lower insurance rates can go directly into your emergency fund, accelerating your progress toward financial security. As of the third quarter of 2024, total credit card debt in the U.S. reached an all-time high of $1.17 trillion, according to the Federal Reserve. Dave Ramsey recommends using the debt snowball method to pay off your debts. Focus on paying off the smallest debt first while making minimum payments on the others. Once the smallest is paid off, move that payment to the next smallest debt and keep going. "Debt isn't a math problem; it's a behavior problem. The debt snowball method helps you change your behavior by giving you quick wins and keeping you motivated,' according to Ramsey. Consolidating all your debts is an effective way to get rid of your debt faster. Instead of juggling multiple monthly payments, you'll have one predictable payment to manage each month. Even after consolidating your major debts, staying debt-free can be challenging especially with rising costs and unforeseen expenses. Budgeting and tracking can help you understand where your money is going, so you can make every dollar work for you. With YNAB, you can track spending and saving all in one place. Link your accounts so you can see a big-picture look of your expenses and net worth growth. You can prioritize saving for short or long term goals — like a vacation or a down payment for a house — with the app's goal tracking feature. If you want to pay debts faster, you can create personalized paydown plans to calculate how much interest you'd save if you topped up your monthly payments with a little extra. The easy-to-use platform allows you to simplify spending decisions and clarify your financial priorities. Plus, you don't need to add your credit card information to start your free trial today. Now that your debt is behind you, keep moving forward with Dave Ramsey's Baby Steps by focusing on building your fully funded emergency fund. 'Take the money you were using to pay down debt and set aside three to six months' worth of expenses,' according to Ramsey. This will safeguard you from life's bigger unexpected bumps – like job loss or a medical emergency – and help you stay on track without slipping back into debt. Parking your cash in a high-yield savings account can significantly boost your savings and keep you on course to reach your financial goals. Such accounts offer interest rates that are often 10 to 12 times higher than the national average for traditional savings accounts, which currently stands at around 0.41%. Unfortunately, over 82% of Americans aren't using such high-yield savings accounts — leaving money on the table, according to CNBC Select. So, it's important to shop around and compare rates. The next Baby Step is to start investing 15% of your gross income towards retirement. 'By the time you're 67, you should still be working because you want to, not because you have to,' said Ramsey. A trusted, pre-screened financial advisor can help you develop a solid retirement strategy. According to research by Vanguard, people who work with financial advisors see a 3% increase in net returns. This difference can be substantial over time. For instance, if you start with a $50,000 portfolio, you could potentially retire with an extra $1.3 million after 30 years of professional guidance. With Vanguard, you can connect with a personal advisor who can help assess how you're doing so far and make sure you've got the right portfolio to meet your goals on time. Vanguard's hybrid advisory system combines advice from professional advisers and automated portfolio management to make sure your investments are working to achieve your financial goals. All you have to do is fill out a brief questionnaire about your financial goals, and Vanguard's advisers will help you set a tailored plan, and stick to it. Once you're set, you can sit back as Vanguard's advisors manage your portfolio. Because they're fiduciaries, they don't earn commissions, so you can trust that the advice you're getting is unbiased.

The next step is to begin saving for your children's college expenses. For example, you can open a high-yield checking and savings account which helps to build your savings over time. By combining these two powerful tools – earning higher interest rates on your cash while systematically funding a tax-advantaged 529 plan – you can build a solid college savings strategy that works in the background while you focus on other aspects of family life and the next Dave Ramsey Baby Step. Now, bring it all home. Your mortgage is the only thing between you and complete freedom from debt. Ramsey said, 'Baby Step 6 is the big dog!' Refinancing your home loan could help you pay off your mortgage early in two effective ways. By securing a lower interest rate, you can either maintain your current monthly payment while more of it goes toward the principal, or you can opt for a shorter loan term to accelerate your path to homeownership. When you refinance to a shorter term, such as moving from a 30-year to a 15-year mortgage, you'll typically receive a lower interest rate while significantly reducing the total interest paid over the life of your loan. Though your monthly payments may increase, you'll build equity faster and own your home outright years earlier than planned. The average homeowner sits on roughly $311,000 in equity as of the third quarter of 2024, according to CoreLogic. Having access to your home equity could help to cover unexpected expenses, pay substantial debt, fund a major purchase like a home renovation or supplement income from your retirement nest egg. Rates on HELOCs and home equity loans are typically lower than APRs on credit cards and personal loans, making it an appealing option for homeowners with substantial equity. Ramsey said the last step is the most rewarding: keep building wealth, become outrageously generous and leave a legacy. Real estate has long been a proven path to building generational wealth. For the 12th year in a row, Americans have ranked real estate as the best long-term investment in 2024, according to a new Gallup survey. Today it's easier than ever to enter the market with crowdfunding investing platforms like Arrived. For as little as $100, Arrived offers you access to shares of SEC-qualified investments in rental homes and vacation rentals, curated and vetted for their appreciation and income potential. Backed by world class investors like Jeff Bezos, Arrived makes it easy to fit these properties into your investment portfolio regardless of your income level. Their flexible investment amounts and simplified process allows accredited and non-accredited investors to take advantage of this inflation-hedging asset class without any extra work on your part. The next factor to consider is the preservation and protection of your wealth. Life insurance is one such tool for protecting your wealth, offering financial security for your family and ensuring your legacy is preserved. When selecting an insurance type, Dave Ramsey recommends that families choose term life insurance over whole life insurance and invest the significant savings in a tax-advantaged retirement account. Term life insurance offers coverage for a predetermined period that typically ranges from 10 to 30 years. If the insured person dies during this term, the policy pays a death benefit to the designated beneficiaries. Term insurance is usually a less expensive and more flexible option compared to whole life insurance. Young families and busy professionals looking for fast and affordable insurance can easily connect with Ethos and get term life insurance in 5 minutes, with no medical exams or blood tests. With Ethos, you can get a policy with up to $2 million in coverage, starting at just $2 per day. The application process ensures you get flexible coverage options quickly and transparently, allowing you to focus on what matters most.
