日内瓦联合声明发布后，中美贸易战虽然没有完全结束，但因为关税引发的紧张局势得到了极大缓解。不仅如此，特朗普还主动表示，由于不能和所有经济 体都进行谈判，所以要设定新的关税。不难发现，在关税问题上，特朗普似乎打算就此打住，至少不想让局面僵持下去。 因为特朗普这一系列政策的背后，根本目的还是解决财政问题。加征关税能够缓解财政压力的效果始终是有限，而且加税本身就只是手段，目的是为了以此 为要挟，施压他国在其他议题上让步，比如说美债"借旧还新"、"向美国支付更多保护费"等等。但由于中方的强势反击，在全球范围内起到了很好的示范效 应，日本、欧盟这些原本可以轻松讹诈的对象，如今对美国的态度都非常强硬。随着暂缓加征"对等关税"期限的临近，特朗普也只能作罢，给自己找台阶 下。 所以特朗普在对华主动让步，在关税问题上暂时"休兵"后，立马将目标瞄准国内。据观察者网报道，当地时间5月17日，特朗普在社交平台上发帖，严厉警 告美国最大的零售商沃尔玛，不得以关税为由涨价。而就在前不久，美国诸多零售巨头因为关税带来的成本上涨，不仅考虑涨价，而且还要在明细中标出消 费者因为关税所需要多支付的价格。这不仅可能会引发通胀反弹，而且这笔账还会被 ...

Core Viewpoint - The recent legislative developments in the U.S. and Hong Kong regarding stablecoins signify a growing recognition and potential legitimization of stablecoins, primarily dollar-pegged, which may enhance the dollar's dominance in the cryptocurrency space [1][2]. Group 1: Stablecoin Market Overview - Stablecoins are typically pegged to stable assets like fiat currencies (mainly the dollar), precious metals, or other cryptocurrencies to maintain value stability [2]. - Since 2020, the stablecoin market has seen significant growth, with a current market capitalization of nearly $245 billion, driven by factors such as efficiency in payments, increased demand from the expanding cryptocurrency market, and geopolitical risks [2]. - The potential implementation of regulatory frameworks could provide new momentum for market development, enhancing the "social consensus" around stablecoins and attracting more investment [2]. Group 2: Impact on Global Currency System - The expansion of stablecoins, particularly dollar-pegged ones, reinforces the dollar's position in the global currency system, potentially impacting the value of more volatile fiat currencies [3]. - While the growth of the dollar stablecoin market may increase demand for U.S. Treasury bonds, its overall effect on short-term bonds is limited, as short-term rates are primarily influenced by Federal Reserve policies rather than market supply and demand [3]. - The current challenges facing U.S. fiscal policy, including persistent deficits and high interest payments, remain critical issues that stablecoin development cannot resolve [3].

Core Viewpoint - Stablecoins are seen as a potential savior for the US dollar hegemony, possibly leading to a version 3.0 of dollar dominance globally [1][5]. Group 1: Stablecoin Overview - Stablecoins are a type of cryptocurrency that maintain a 1:1 peg to the US dollar, differing from highly volatile cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum [2][4]. - The issuance of stablecoins is strictly regulated, requiring a dollar backing for each stablecoin issued, which simplifies cryptocurrency transactions [2][4]. Group 2: Demand and Market Potential - The demand for stablecoins is rigid, increasing with the number of cryptocurrency traders, and Tether (USDT) has issued over 130 billion coins backed by approximately 130 billion dollars [4]. - Citigroup estimates that the stablecoin market could reach $3.7 trillion by 2030, with 60% of that potentially used to purchase US Treasury bonds, surpassing holdings by China and Japan [4][5]. Group 3: Implications for Dollar Hegemony - Stablecoins could become a core pillar of dollar hegemony 3.0, as they may facilitate global transactions and reinforce the dollar's dominance, especially in regions with limited banking access [5]. - The reliance on stablecoins in regions like Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Africa indicates a trend towards indirect use of the dollar, laying the groundwork for a new version of dollar hegemony [5]. Group 4: Challenges and Risks - The future of stablecoins and their role in dollar hegemony is uncertain, facing challenges such as the need for widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies and potential competition from stablecoins issued by other regions [6][9]. - The risks associated with stablecoins, including their reliance on private companies and the potential for high-risk investments, pose significant uncertainties for the stability of the dollar hegemony [10].
