Interesting viewpoints are coming. Princeton senior researcher Bill Dudley recently spoke candidly in the media: relying on stablecoins to alleviate US debt pressure is probably not feasible.
This view directly contradicts some previous optimistic expectations. It is worth noting that many hoped that the development of stablecoins could drive private capital into the US Treasury market, thereby helping the government reduce borrowing costs—sounds logical. But reality is often more complicated.
Where is the problem? On one hand, although stablecoins are developing rapidly, their scale and liquidity are still small compared to the entire US debt market. On the other hand, investors' demand decisions are influenced by multiple factors and will not completely change their Treasury allocation strategies just because stablecoins appear.
This also reminds Web3 practitioners of a reality: while innovation in crypto assets is cool, to move the entire financial system or macroeconomic landscape requires deeper market participation and institutional recognition, which cannot be achieved overnight.

Ha, another dampening comment... But Bill Dudley's words really hit the nail on the head.
Stablecoins are not that magical; the scale difference is too large.
Dream on, thinking that crypto alone can change the financial landscape? You need to get the institutional part sorted first.

lol bill dudley finally said what we all knew... stablecoins aren't magic bullets, per my analysis the market cap differential alone makes this mathematically untenable, statistically speaking

It's the same theory again—stablecoins saving US debt? Haha, the scale difference is too great; frankly, it's just a drop in the bucket.

Ha, another big shot comes to pour cold water. The idea that stablecoins will save US debt is indeed overly optimistic.

Haha, if it doesn't work, it doesn't work. I already said that stablecoins can't save the US debt show.

Another new story to cut leeks? Stablecoins saving US bonds, this logic has long been seen through by me.
