Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the decline of the US dollar's dominance and the rise of the Chinese yuan, highlighting the geopolitical and financial implications of this shift [1][3]. Group 1: US Dollar's Challenges - The US is facing a debt crisis, exacerbated by failed plans such as the "Mar-a-Lago Agreement" which aimed to convert US debt into long-term, interest-free bonds [3][5]. - The "Pennsylvania Plan," led by US Treasury Secretary Yellen, aims to stimulate domestic demand for US debt through financial repression and the promotion of dollar stablecoins [5][7]. - This strategy represents a high-stakes gamble, relying on domestic investors to absorb large amounts of US debt and the global reliance on the dollar [5][7]. Group 2: Risks and Consequences - The independence of the Federal Reserve is at risk, as the Treasury's control over monetary policy could lead to corruption and mismanagement [7]. - Artificially lowering interest rates to manage debt could undermine the dollar's credibility, potentially leading to severe inflation [7][9]. - The trend of "de-dollarization" is gaining momentum, with central banks around the world increasing their gold reserves as a sign of diminishing confidence in the dollar [9][11].

特朗普深夜发了一篇长长的帖子，在帖子里他絮絮叨叨，语言颠三倒四，就像是一个被抛弃的怨妇，受够了对方的无情。 他说，我什么办法都试过了，友善、中立、强硬，软的硬的都用了，这个倔老头就是不听我的，而且我也知道，我越是批评他，他反而更加不听我的，反正 我是做什么对他都没用。 特朗普深夜破大防，他好像被鲍威尔给整哭了！ 特朗普自从上台以来，为了让美联储降息，他几乎天天都要骂鲍威尔，他说鲍威尔是个蠢X，还给起了个外号，叫太慢先生。 直到最近，画风突然变了。 特朗普的这个帖子，一反他过去天天都在赢的姿态，第一次对美联储认输，而且还有点声泪俱下的感觉。 也许这是他故意换了一种策略，想博取同情，也许是他不经意间的真情流露，真的破防了。 那么，身为美国总统的特朗普，为何拿捏不了美联储？ 这还得从美联储的决策机制说起，很多人都说美联储是一家私人机构，其实不够准确，准确地来说，美联储其实是一家半官方机构。 美联储是由12家地区储备银行组成，这些储备银行又被上千家私人银行控股，所以美联储首先代表美国银行业的利益。 同时，美联储的最高决策机构叫做联邦公开市场委员会，这里面一共有12名委员，每次加息降息印钞放水这些大事，都是由这12个人 ...

人民币突围：香港"跨境支付通"能否撼动美元霸权？ 近期，作为亚洲金融中心的香港，再次吸引了全球目光。一项名为"跨境支付通"的创新举措悄然落地，预示着人民币国际化进程的又一次重要突破。这项举 措究竟有何深意？它将如何影响我们的生活，又将在多大程度上挑战美元的霸权地位？ "跨境支付通"，这一专家们精心打造的新概念，核心在于打通人民币与港币之间的兑换壁垒。众所周知，香港拥有独立的货币体系——港币。过去，人民币 与港币之间存在着人为的区隔，直接使用对方货币进行交易并不普遍，这无疑增加了贸易结算的复杂性。例如，在跨境贸易中，企业往往需要将本币兑换成 美元进行结算，美元的"货币霸权"也由此可见一斑。即使是大陆与香港之间的贸易，美元也能畅通无阻，而本币的使用却受到限制。 "跨境支付通"的推出，旨在打破这一僵局。未来，大陆与香港之间的交易可以直接使用人民币或港币进行支付。银行将扮演"协调人"的角色，自动完成货币 结算，使用者几乎感受不到中间流程的存在。这意味着，过去繁琐的货币兑换环节将成为历史，极大地便利了两地之间的经济交流。 而香港的特殊地位，赋予了"跨境支付通"更深远的意义。作为亚洲的金融中心，香港很早就融入了全球结算体 ...

在全球经济的棋盘上，一场静悄悄的货币战争正在上演。当人们还在关注美国军事力量的部署时，人民 币已如一匹黑马，超越欧元，跃升为全球第二大贸易融资货币！这并非一场小打小闹的变革，而是对美 元霸权的一次有力冲击，全球经济版图也因此震动。 二、美元霸权裂痕：信任危机下的摇摇欲坠 一、教科书级别的"稳中带狠"：人民币的崛起 2024年11月，上海金融论坛上，中国人民银行行长潘功胜掷地有声地宣布：人民币已成为全球第二大贸 易融资货币，并跻身全球第三大支付货币。消息一出，国际经济学界一片哗然。要知道，此前国际机构 基于SWIFT系统的数据显示，人民币的全球结算份额仅为3.5%，甚至落后于英镑和日元。为何短短时 间内，人民币能实现如此惊人的飞跃？ 关键在于数据来源的差异。西方国家主要依赖SWIFT结算系统，而中国拥有独立的跨境人民币清算支付 系统（CIPS）。美国对CIPS的数据知之甚少，因此低估了人民币的实际增长。事实上，中俄之间每年 高达2400亿美元的贸易额已绕开西方结算体系，转而使用人民币结算。此外，非洲、泰国、新加坡等地 区也纷纷接入CIPS系统。这些西方无法追踪的数据，共同构成了人民币结算规模的庞大增量。 尽管人 ...

重塑全球金融秩序：中美稳定币角逐背后的货币霸权之争 然而，这种策略的潜在风险在于，如果全球范围内广泛使用与美债挂钩的稳定币，实际上是将美国的债务风险转嫁给全球。面对美国的这一举动，中国央行 迅速采取了应对措施。 中国的反击：数字人民币"弯道超车" 中国对于稳定币和虚拟货币的态度截然不同。虚拟货币因缺乏实际价值支撑，被视为非法投机工具；而稳定币由于锚定金融或实物资产，具有内在价值，被 视为一种潜在的信用扩张工具。中国认为，稳定币有助于提升一个国家的货币霸权和财政实力。 为了掌握稳定币领域的话语权，中国正在积极推动数字人民币的国际化。中国央行行长在上海陆家嘴论坛上宣布，数字人民币国际运营中心即将落地，跨境 支付系统将绕开SWIFT。这意味着，企业跨境汇款不再需要耗时数天，支付高额手续费，而是可以通过数字人民币"货币桥"实现秒速到账，且不限消费场 景。 当前全球经济格局正经历一场深刻的变革，中美两国在稳定币领域的博弈，不仅仅是一场技术竞赛，更是对未来国际货币体系主导权的争夺。稳定币，这种 与法定货币或特定资产挂钩的加密货币，正成为两国角逐的新战场，其背后隐藏着各自不同的战略意图。 美债的"ICU时刻"：特朗普政府的 ...

摘要 中国香港及美国稳定币法案后的虚拟资产行业趋势 20260626 美国推出稳定币法案旨在将美元霸权映射到区块链场景，通过美元稳定币渗透 灰色市场，并利用民间发行机构分销短期美债，以延长美元体系生命线。香港 则希望构建数字金融实验场并扮演政策缓冲区角色，同时避免金融制裁威胁， 并通过一国两制政策吸引外资，助力人民币国际化和资产全球流通。因此，美 国侧重建立链上的数字殖民，而香港则致力于建立链上的通商口岸。 SWIFT 体系武器化推动非美元化，发展中国家民众自发使用加密金融， 链上金融需求显著增长。俄罗斯被踢出 SWIFT 体系后，寻求替代方案， 表明地缘政治风险加速了去中心化金融的采用。 比特币价格与全球 M2 货币供应量高度相关，宽松周期下，美国降息压 力可能推动比特币及风险资产上涨。特朗普政府对美联储的施压可能直 接影响加密货币市场。 美国稳定币法案旨在将美元霸权延伸至区块链，香港则希望构建数字金 融实验场，助力人民币国际化。美国侧重数字殖民，香港则致力于建立 链上通商口岸。 稳定币通过优化点对点交易清结算网络降低成本，提高效率，盈利模式 类似银行吸储放贷，投资低风险资产赚取利息。中国手机出口商可利用 ...

可如今这特权眼看就保不住了。美元对欧元的汇率在短时间内从 0.95 跌到 0.86，这可不是故意贬值的策略，而是信任的真实流失，跟其他世界货币比起来 更明显。这种情况下，如果美国还像 2020 年之后那样印更多钞票来应对危机，美元的价值极有可能跌得更狠。 美国国债的情况更危急。现在美国要发行十年期国债，得支付 4.38% 的利率，可德国才 2.53%，中国 1.69%，日本只有 1%。结果一年下来，美国的利息支 出从 7530 亿美元涨到 12350 亿美元，远远超过了军费开支。特朗普这下可碰到大麻烦了 —— 美元和国债这俩美国的 "象征"，已经没人觉得是靠谱资产 了。于是他就跟低成本电影里的角色似的，戴上红色棒球帽坐进指挥中心，想靠展示军事力量让世界相信美国的霸权 —— 毕竟这是美国现在唯一真正的 "硬实力" 了。但他们心里清楚，这招只能撑一时。问题是这办法好像也不咋管用：除了盲从的欧洲，其他国家都不再把特朗普当成能保障安全未来的国家 领导人了。 这风险可真是实实在在的。特朗普盯上伊朗的一个主要原因，就是想秀美国的军事肌肉 —— 试图让世界（或者说部分国家）重新 "信任" 美国经济的象征， 也就是美元和国债 ...
