每经记者｜岳楚鹏 蔡鼎 每经编辑｜兰素英 进入5月，美国金融圈的聚光灯正前所未有地聚焦于一种特殊的数字资产——稳定币。 随着美国参议院关键法案的推进和美国政府高层的公开力挺，这个总市值在大约5年间从200亿美元飙升至近2500亿美元的金融"物种"，正被寄予厚望，不仅 要成为美国经济实力的"助推器"，更被视为重塑美元全球地位和消化庞大国债的关键棋子。渣打银行的报告预计，到2028年底稳定币发行量将达2万亿美 元，由此带来额外1.6万亿美元的美国短期国债购买需求——"足以吸收特朗普第二任期内剩余时间里所有新增的短期国债发行量"。 然而，这场针对稳定币的战略布局，也可能在未来反噬自身。美银证券发出警示，随着稳定币的崛起，美国传统银行业恐面临高达6.6万亿美元的存款分 流。由于价值创造可能转移至银行体系外，美国银行股也将面临沉重估值压力。 《GENIUS法案》：稳定币走向主流的倒计时 当地时间5月19日，美国参议院以66票对32票的显著优势，通过了《指导与建立美国稳定币国家创新法案》（简称《GENIUS法案》）的程序性立法，为这 一旨在为稳定币量身定制监管框架的法案铺平了道路。不过，法案仍需参议院最终表决，并经众议院 ...

智通财经APP获悉，美国银行预计到今年年底或 2026 年初，黄金价格将达到每盎司 4000 美元，白银价格将达到每盎司 40 美元。去年10月，该行 金价将达到3000美元，目前已经超过这一水平。美银分析师表示，贸易引发的地缘政治不确定性将继续支撑金属价格，而对美国政府财政状况日益 加剧的担忧可能会推动金属价格进一步上涨。 至于白银，Branch称其为"不错的投资选择之一"。白银具有双重属性，即是贵金属，也是工业金属。Branch称："白银的贵金属属性一直在推高其价 格，而工业属性则处于次要地位，但这种情况最终会改变。当然，关税意味着贸易环境趋弱，去年第四季度到今年第一季度期间，投资者因预期关 税而抢先大量买入，当时贸易形势相当乐观。如今关税已实施，接下来的几个月工业活动会放缓，但最终工业活动会再度活跃起来。" 2024 年工业对白银的需求创下纪录，致使白银市场连续第四年出现结构性赤字。尽管关税担忧和供应链中断带来了一些不利因素，但预计 2025 年 工业需求仍将保持强劲。Branch指出，从长期来看，白银价格通常与黄金价格走势一致，但全球经济走势的不确定性正在形成阻力。 美银分析师们表示："迄今为止，贸易 ...
