Elon Musk — still the world’s richest man, with a $243 billion net worth as of July 10, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index — is at the helm of several companies. From Tesla to SpaceX, and from Neuralink to The Boring Company — and most recently, Twitter — Musk is no stranger to controversy and is known for speaking his mind. Not everything Elon Musk has done, financially speaking, has been exemplary. However, Musk’s best money moves are at the center of many commentaries, however, and four follow.

Elon Musk — still the world’s richest man, with a $243 billion net worth as of July 10, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index — is at the helm of several companies. From Tesla to SpaceX, and from Neuralink to The Boring Company — and most recently, Twitter — Musk is no stranger to controversy and is known for speaking his mind. Not everything Elon Musk has done, financially speaking, has been exemplary. However, Musk’s best money moves are at the center of many commentaries, however, and four follow.
PayPal: An Early Mind for Bold Investing
Musk founded X.com, later named PayPal, and sold it to eBay for $1.4 billion in 2002, according to The Wall Street Journal. He collected $100 million from the deal.
“One of Elon’s best financial moves was placing most of his net worth into Paypal, at a time where the ‘.com’ world was seriously taking off,” said Sebastian Jania, owner of Ontario Property Buyers.
Upon successful growth of this company, he sold it and was paid handsomely — but instead of cashing out of the “entrepreneurship game” and living on the proceeds, he recycled his money into three more businesses which also took off as successes, said Jania.
“This was a very wise decision as he was able to take his successes in the tech industry and diversify across solar, automotive, and space industries. This move protected him in case the tech industry or other industries would crash.”
Musk Reinvests Profits Into his Visions
Elon Musk has made billions of dollars from his ventures but doesn’t all profits on lavish lifestyles or frivolous things, said Anna Koval, co-founder and CMO at Tarotoo.
“Instead, he reinvests his profits into his vision of making humanity a multi-planetary species and advancing clean energy and transportation. This shows his passion, dedication, and long-term thinking, which are essential for any successful entrepreneur.”

GOLD REVALUATION 2025: How Likely Is a US-Driven Monetary Reset?
Taylor Kenny: 2-18-2025
The global monetary reset isn’t coming—it’s already here. The evidence is overwhelming: skyrocketing U.S. debt, declining dollar dominance, and an unprecedented surge in central banks buying gold.
These signs point to one thing—gold is being repositioned at the center of the global financial system.
A massive financial shift is underway. Are you prepared?

'There's Not Much Time Left' - GOLD Driving Monetary End Game
VRIC: 2-18-2025
Lynette Zang and Rafi Farber think that misguided optimism over Trump's presidency is hiding the real truth lurking in America's monetary sewers: unbridled debt and deficits, dollar devaluation, and fiscal irresponsibility showing no end in sight.
Gold is poised to continue its upward climb in the face of these facts, and is perfectly playing its role as a unit of account and store of value, while the dollar increasingly becomes the emperor without any clothes.

but rather a process of reshaping aimed at ensuring compliance with international standards,
which reflects a new stage of organization and adaptation to the requirements of transparency and financial compliance", "noting that "we were hoping to lead This change is Iraqi banks, but the nature of the emerging sector and the leniency that it witnessed during the past twenty years made it unstable for such changes, as banks believed that the existing situation would continue and did not initiate the preparation of the requirements of the new stage.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
CREEPING DOUBTS OVER US GOLD RESERVES MAKE CASE FOR TOKENIZED COMMODITIES
America’s Fort Knox, Kentucky gold reserves haven’t been audited in more than 50 years.
The tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs) has reached a record high in 2025, driven by institutional demand for US dollar-denominated yield products.
As the technical barriers to RWAs continue to erode, commodities that require continual verification, like gold reserves, are likely to find a home on the blockchain very soon, according to Michele Crivelli, founder and chief operating officer of digital asset issuer NexBridge.
Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
CREEPING DOUBTS OVER US GOLD RESERVES MAKE CASE FOR TOKENIZED COMMODITIES
America’s Fort Knox, Kentucky gold reserves haven’t been audited in more than 50 years.
The tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs) has reached a record high in 2025, driven by institutional demand for US dollar-denominated yield products.
As the technical barriers to RWAs continue to erode, commodities that require continual verification, like gold reserves, are likely to find a home on the blockchain very soon, according to Michele Crivelli, founder and chief operating officer of digital asset issuer NexBridge.
In an interview with Cointelegraph, Crivelli explained why US Treasurys and other fixed-income instruments have been the biggest targets of tokenization.
“These assets offer stability, transparency and clearly defined yields,” said Crivelli. “There is strong demand for dollar-denominated instruments for various reasons, including the need to combat inflation in certain regions and preserve purchasing power in countries where you don’t have direct access to [US dollar] currency or investment.”
Tokenizing Treasury bonds is a natural first step in a market that Crivelli calls a “small, knowledgeable niche.”
However, it’s only a matter of time before more assets become tokenized.
“Beyond US Treasury bills, gold and other commodities are prime candidates for tokenization, thanks to their potential to reduce correlation with traditional markets,” said Crivelli.
“There are different tokenization models — some replicate financial instruments linked to gold, while others directly represent physical bullion,” he said.
Anxiety over US gold reserves grows
The tokenization of real-world assets like gold is taking on newfound importance as Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) seeks to cut wasteful spending and increase the transparency of US federal agencies.
Musk has even proposed using blockchain technology to track federal spending — a motion that was supported by Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong.
Anxiety over federal gold reserves has grown since Zerohedge reminded Musk that the country’s Fort Knox, Kentucky deposits haven’t been audited in more than 50 years.
“Surely it’s reviewed at least every year?” Musk asked.
In response, US Senator Rand Paul has called on DOGE to investigate the status of Fort Knox’s nearly 4,600 tons of gold.
Blockchain technology can render these issues obsolete, according to Crivelli. Tokenizing bullion on the blockchain can increase the security and transparency of gold reserves, which enables “continual verification of gold’s ownership,” he said.
In the meantime, betters on Polymarket say there’s a 50% chance that DOGE will audit the Fort Knox gold reserves by May of this year.

TETHER CO-FOUNDER IS WORKING ON YIELD-BEARING STABLECOIN RIVAL
▪Pi Protocol is set to launch in the second half of the year
▪The project will let minters of stablecoin earn yield
One of the original founders of Tether is backing a new stablecoin project — one that will compete with the world’s most traded cryptocurrency.
Reeve Collins, who along with Brock Pierce and Craig Sellars launched precursor to the original stablecoin, served as Tether’s first chief executive officer from from 2013 to 2015.
He is chairman and co-founder of Pi Protocol. The so-called decentralized project is expected to debut on both the Ethereum and Solana blockchains in the second half of this year or sooner. No financial terms were disclosed.
Pi will use so-called smart contracts, or computer programs that automatically execute transactions between parties like exchanges and market makers, to mint its USP stablecoin.
As a reward, the minters will earn another token, called USI, as yield. The stablecoin will be backed by yield-bearing real-world assets such as bonds.
After initially being used in crypto to facilitate trading and serving as a refuge from the extreme swings in the prices of most other tokens, stablecoins have been touted more recently as a method of payment.
The idea is to let industry participants marketing the stablecoin to get the lion’s share of the profits from it — something that doesn’t happen with Tether, which is supposed to be tied one-to-one to the dollar. Tether, which has grown to have over $140 billion in USDT tokens in circulation, profits from investing the reserves backing the coins. Tether said it had about $13 billion in profit last year.
“We view Pi Protocol as the evolution of stablecoins,” Collins said in an interview. “Tether has been extremely successful in showcasing demand for stablecoins. But they keep all the yield. We believe 10 years later the market is really ready to evolve.”
Collins, 49, and his partners sold Tether to the operators of the crypto exchange Bitfinex in 2015, when the USDT stablecoin’s market value was less than $1 billion. Collins has since co-founded several other companies, including NFT platform BLOCKv.
“I very much supported Tether over the years, it’s an extraordinary invention that we’ve developed,” Collins said. “Hindsight is always 20/20,” he said when asked if he regretted selling his stake in Tether.
Stablecoins have gotten a boost this year, with the election of US President Donald Trump. In his first days in office, Trump released an executive order promoting US dollar-backed stablecoin adoption, and Congress is working on a bill that offers a regulatory framework for stablecoins in the US.
Major financial companies like PayPal Holdings Inc. are already issuing stablecoins, while many others are considering issuing them.
Pi Protocol seeks to take advantage of the fast growth of not only stablecoins, but also real-world assets, a category which companies like the world’s biggest asset manager, BlackRock Inc., already play in.
The stablecoin will be over-collateralized by assets like Treasuries, money-market funds and insurance products represented on blockchain ledgers. Pi’s smart contracts will evaluate the collateral’s value and enforce an over-collateralization ratio, according to the project’s whitepaper.
“You want assets that are non-correlated to crypto that are mid- to high yield, low risk,” Pi Chief Executive Officer Bundeep Singh Rangar, who previously founded insurance platform PremFina, said. “We have a mechanism that assesses the quality of the asset. They are ones that are vetted on their loss ratio and origination of where they are coming from.”
Pi will be ruled by a governance token, USPi, whose holders will get a cut of the platform’s revenue, coming from sources like yield from minting the stablecoin on the platform. The token’s users will be able to vote on decisions such as setting risk parameters, adjusting collateral policies and distribution of protocol revenue. The project’s team and advisors got 25% of the governance token supply. A pre-sale of the governance token is currently ongoing.

Ariel : A Fort Knox Audit Could Set a Precedent
2-18-2025
Everyone probably too scared not to outright file their taxes. But since DOGE came along they are testing the extension feature for the 1st time just to see if the IRS survives the audit.
So the Deep State is trying to ship gold from London to the US more than likely to Fort Knox before DOGE has a chance to audit it. I guess they do not want them to discover the reported vs actual gold reserves.
Which of course if the general public found out by discovering a shortfall in gold reserves could lead to volatility in financial markets, affecting currency values and investor confidence. This plays well into a potential crash.

Which of course if the general public found out by discovering a shortfall in gold reserves could lead to volatility in financial markets, affecting currency values and investor confidence. This plays well into a potential crash.
Because revelations from an audit could prompt scrutiny of past and present monetary policies, especially those related to the gold standard and fiat currency. And D. Trump always said the artificial value if the USD was to high. So how do you bring it down?
Well it looks like Elon Musk is getting around to that. A Fort Knox audit could set a precedent, leading to calls for audits of other government assets and operations, potentially exposing mismanagement or malfeasance. Which sets the ground for Crypto.
Why? If gold reserves are found lacking, it will bolster the credibility and adoption of alternative assets like cryptocurrencies, which offer transparency through blockchain technology that everything will be scrutinized with.
A significant discrepancy in gold reserves could alter international perceptions of the U.S. economy, affecting geopolitical alliances and economic negotiations. Which will bring more attention to the fair trade policy D. Trump has been pushing.
There will be legal and political consequences from an audit leading to investigations, legal actions, and political upheaval, challenging the positions of those implicated in any potential cover-up. Which will be many.

They haven't paid all the salaries at 1310. They haven't exposed the budget. Obviously they're doing something trying to keep it contained till down to the wire.

Member: yes Samson on MM said good info on the gazette
Member: Nadar put out a short video with all the clauses & amendments. Sounded Positive.
Member: Whoo hoo gazette publishing is big news!!!
MZ: the only fun news I saw in the Gazette was the $16 dollar per barrel going to Kurdistan. And the budget tables are moving forward.
Member: TNT post an article that the budget is done and in the Gazette today.
MZ: The bond side is still quiet…News was loud on Saturday and quiet on Monday. Its pretty odd.
Member: If they are under NDA’s – they are bound to stay quiet.
MZ: I know some group people are working but they won’t tell me what they are doing….just that they have their “nose to the grindstone” . I think that is positive.
MZ: I actually have some bond facilitators that have actual physical money…this is something we have never seen…...this makes me excited. We have seen a tremendous amount of progress.
MZ: Someone sent me an old “Q” drop…which is interesting. Grab your tinfoil hats…..the drop said “Gold will destroy them” Talking of the destruction of the deep state. Do you think perhaps it’s the knowledge we may soon have about Ft. Knox and it is empty? And Therefore the Fed Reserve and the “Corporation” is bankrupt? What do you all think is the chances of that?
MZ: I am still on the fence about all of this…..but there have been some eerie accuracies that make you at least consider it to be real. Or maybe it’s like “The Simpson’s” and they are damn lucky?
MZ: “Gold will destroy them all” I always thought that phrase meant because it would destroy the cental banks because people would prefer gold backed currency to fiat. But if people find out the Central banks have been lying to us and holding nothing…while telling us this gold we have backs our nation and our currency …well there will be a lot of very upset people.
MZ: Then what happens if they go to London and audit that bank. Then the biggest banks in the West….and find out there isn’t anything there or amounts are not remotely accurate…maybe its all gold painted lead bars or something…..What do you think will happen? They may be onto something “Gold will destroy them all”
Member: Is it a coincidence that Kentucky is flooded and Fort Knox is in Kentucky and Elon wants to audit it
Member: Anyone wondering if the audit of Fort Knox will crash the US Dollar?
Member: I still think that once they do the audit of the gold in Fort Knocks things are going to take off!!!
Member: I have had family, connected with Ft Knox for several decades. the rumors were that the gold was gone back in the seventies.
Member: loads of gold coming from Europe, probably to restock fort Knox before the audit
Member: If Fort Knox was short let alone empty. It would Force the RV. Imo
Member: Elon posted a question "Do you think we should have news camera's on when we go into the vaults of Fort Knox?" I say yes.
Member: Re Ft Knox gold vaults - hope this doesn’t turn out like Geraldo Rivera’s quest to open Al Capone’s vault (pretty much empty)
Member: I know a man that guards the gold at Ft. Knox. A couple months ago I ask him if the gold was still there. He told me the gold is stacked from the floor to the ceiling. Maybe only one row?
Member: There have been rumors for years about 650 plane fuls of gold removed from the Vatican to the US…..and of gold stored in the Grand Canyon
MZ: Yes we have all heard those rumors….we really need to see it for ourselves. The people will not have faith in a new economy and new monetary system until we see it. Imo
Member: Do you think the other Tiers before us are nearly completed…. in your opinion?
MZ: A good one from Iraq. “Parliamentary praise for the strategy to support national industry” this one talks about everything Sudani is doing. He is convinced they one one shot to fix things and give a new value to the currency of the people in Iraq. They are creating a “juggernaut” of a good economy in Iraq.
MZ: “Plan to increase oil production to 7 million barrels a day” I love this one. Oil right now is about $75 bucks a barrel for Brent crude. They are making about $191 billion 625 million per year in oil revenues. And we are not even talking about gas, tourism and manufacturing . Iraq is going to have one of the highest GDPs (Gross Domestic products) of any country on the planet…..Iraq has a lot to be excited about.
Member: wish they were excited about getting the new rate on the dinar. .
Member: Currency's cryptos, and Metals all seem to be aligning at the same time!
Member: Hey Mark, do you think this will be wrapped up by the end of February? My concern things will slow down as March is Ramadan time.
Member: Nader doesn’t think it will revalue during Ramadan
MZ: I don’t know….there is a history of revaluations during Ramadan ….So history says it is possible to revalue during Ramadan.
Member: When is Ramadan?
Member: I believe it starts at sundown on Feb 28 and goes for a full month.
Member: No disrespect to Ramadan, I just want this to be ramaDone.
Member: Ariel says…may be 60 days yet as Iraq’s pipelines aren’t completed yet and their oil cannot flow until they’re completed
Member: The plethora of private jets in RENO is sweet music to our ears…That has to be positive news.
Member: did you see an announcement from the Phillipines –No more fiat and the revaluation of global currencies? They were so Happy.I sent video to your Email
MZ: I have not seen that. I will look for it.
Member: yes the Phillipines show their new currency in the internet… the new Philippines currency has been slowly coming out 1000 bill last year polymer now they will change the other notes but no fiat change
Member: Texas Senate is holding a hearing on Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
Member: IMO the banks shut down for 24 hours not because it was Presidents’ Day that was a cover up. Because Iraq does not celebrate Presidents’ Day and chase in Iraq was closed as well. Maybe it was the switch to Blockchain?
Member: Do you think some exchanges will be done on Military installations?
MZ: Absolutely. That makes sense. Many military personnel own foreign currency.
Member: I am not getting in the roller coaster again so I am waiting for my appointment to be excited…
Member: Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom
Member: See you all tonight at 7:00 p.m. for another one of Mark's great podcasts. Have a blessed day!!

DOGE just exposed that, until now, the Treasury Department had no traceability for nearly $4.7 trillion in U.S. taxpayer funds.

Frank26 Yeah we have a bunch of dinars in the federal reserves. Let's pretend that we have one zillion. But when Sudani pulls the trigger, what are you going to do? You're going to run to the American banks and you're going to give them three zeros notes. Is the American bank going to send the three zero notes back to the CBI? No. Those are 'dinar mattresses'. So where are these three zero notes going to? The Federal Reserve where we already have one zillion dinars. Now we're going to have two zillion dinars...
yada Comment: Today is supposed to be the day the extraction cost of oil was raised for Kurdistan oil. That is real close to sounding like HCL stuff. yada: Exactly...the rate had to come first to give the oil transfer value. Flowing oil means the rate was done. Now our turn.

Gold is nearing $2900 to start the week in US dollar terms.
Copper exploding higher. +2%
Elon Musk says it would be cool to do a live video walkthrough of Fort Knox reviewing gold reserves… This would be massive.
Elon Musk confirms that Americans want to know whether the gold is still at Fort Knox. Seems like an audit is coming…
After years of Western central bankers dismissing gold, the world is now demanding an audit of Fort Knox to verify if it’s actually there. Are you not entertained?
I asked Ron Paul whether he believes the Trump Administration could remonetize gold and about @judyshel’s gold-backed bond. He emphasized that gold should be RETURNED to the people and revisited his iconic exchange with former Federal Reserve Chair Ben Bernanke on whether gold is money. He says the current system is over, and price inflation will continue to go up.
Dr. Paul highlighted that one of the most magnificent developments is that some states are passing legislation recognizing gold and silver as legal tender, in line with the Constitution.

Dr. Ron Paul spent a lot of time highlighting the importance of gold in the global system.
Watch the full episode, here:
GOLD TELEGRAPH CONVERSATION #5: DR. RON PAUL "I think the country would thrive tremendously if we see it in moral terms and don’t have some Federal Reserve being the chief counterfeiter. It’s fraud."
Three-time U.S. presidential candidate Dr. Ron Paul joins me for a powerful discussion on the Federal Reserve, fiat money, government waste, and key moments from his career.
A former U.S. Congressman and physician, Paul has been a relentless advocate for limited government, free markets, and sound money. Serving Texas for decades, he became one of the loudest critics of the Federal Reserve, pushing for monetary reform, a gold standard, and fiscal responsibility. In our conversation, Dr. Paul reflects on the growing awareness of monetary policy and government corruption—a fight he’s led for years. We begin with @elonmusk call for him to investigate the Federal Reserve, a move Dr. Paul doubts will happen but sees as a sign that the debate is shifting. He emphasizes that the real battle is ideological, as the current monetary system is crumbling under debt, inflation, and authoritarianism.
Dr. Paul revisits his push to audit the Fed and America’s gold reserves, recalling repeated efforts to block transparency.
While he believes the gold is still there, questions remain over ownership and manipulation. He also highlights the Fed’s secrecy in international finance, warning that the system thrives on deception and interventionism. We explore many more themes in this fascinating discussion. Thank you, Dr. Paul, for joining me. I hope you all enjoy.

Things are getting real.
Elon Musk: This gold is the property of the American people. I sure hope it’s still there!
Suddenly, The entire world realizes a monetary reset is no longer a conspiracy. It’s in motion. To top it all off: Gold will be at the centre of it all.
I follow zero script. I just have spent my career trying to write the golden story. Coming at us fast now.
“He who has the gold makes the rules.”
Bingo.
There is still a weeks-long queue to withdraw gold from the Bank of England vaults. If they did not know by now… Countries now fully know how difficult it has become to bring their gold home. This explains why many have rushed to do so over the years.
Who has brought some gold home in recent years?
• India
• Germany
• Netherlands
• Turkey
• Austria
The list goes on. Who is next?
BREAKING NEWS: GERMANY’S LIKELY NEXT CHANCELLOR IS WARNING THAT EUROPE IS ON THE BRINK OF ANOTHER FINANCIAL CRISIS
Oh?

The best part of the last 48 hours? It’s only a matter of time before Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is forced to address growing public concern over whether the U.S. still owns all the gold at Fort Knox. Peak financial comedy is on the way.

Good morning Dinar Recaps,
FEDERAL RESERVE CHAIR BACKS BITCOIN AS ‘DIGITAL GOLD’—A TURNING POINT FOR CRYPTO?
Despite the challenging macroeconomic environment, Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell has revised his stance on Bitcoin, which has given investors cautious hope for cryptocurrencies.
Comparing Bitcoin to gold during an appearance at the New York Times DealBook Summit, Powell characterized the flagship crypto as a “speculative asset” rather than a direct competitor to the US dollar.
This is a significant departure from his previous dismissive stance toward the world’s largest cryptocurrency, which has a market capitalization of approximately $1.4 trillion.
Powell’s Changing Viewpoint On Bitcoin
Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) promptly emphasized this development as “an improvement to the previous narrative,” indicating that industry leaders were aware of Powell’s rhetorical shift.

TEXAS SENATE’S BITCOIN RESERVE HEARING FEBRUARY 18: A GAME CHANGER OR SYMBOLIC MOVE?
The Texas Senate is all set to hold a public hearing, Tuesday, to discuss creating a Bitcoin reserve. However, market analysts believe that the move may be symbolic unless the state announces a clear investment plan.
The first public hearing for the establishment of a potential strategic Bitcoin reserve in Texas is scheduled for Feb. 18, less than a week after the bill was received by the Secretary of the Senate, as per the Texas government’s website.
“A Symbolic Move”
Despite being a positive step for Bitcoin adoption, the hearing may only represent a ‘symbolic move’ for cryptocurrency markets, according to Iliya Kalchev, dispatch analyst at Nexo.
“Texas considering Bitcoin as a reserve asset is another chess move in BTC’s march toward institutional legitimacy, but state-level initiatives often make ripples, not waves, compared to ETF inflows or corporate treasury allocations,” Kalchev noted.
Kalchev pointed out that unless Texas announces specific actions, like buying Bitcoin soon or a major policy shift, the market won’t react strongly. This is because Texas is already known for its pro-crypto stance, and hence the news itself won’t be surprising.
Lately, Bitcoin has lacked upside momentum, trading under the $100,000 for over nine days since Feb. 7. COO of Bitget, believes that Bitcoin will continue to face pressure in the short term due to the ongoing trade tensions between the US and China.
Upcoming Events Could Reignite Interest
Nevertheless, Key events this week like the upcoming FOMC minutes could reignite the markets. The Federal Reserve will release the minutes from its January meeting on Wednesday, where it decided to keep interest rates steady. Besides, Trump’s tariffs are also adding inflationary pressure.
While the positive developments surrounding Bitcoin reserve legislation signal growing institutional adoption, Kalchev noted that macro forces like fed policy and regulatory shifts will ultimately shape Bitcoin’s trajectory.
Texas’ push for a Bitcoin reserve marks a significant shift in both economic and political landscapes, with other states following suit. Kentucky, for example, has become the 16th state to propose legislation that would allocate up to 10% of excess state reserves into digital assets. These moves highlight the growing trend toward crypto adoption across the U.S.

FED GOVERNOR CALLS FOR REGULATORY FRAMEWORK ALLOWING BANKS AND INSTITUTIONS TO ISSUE STABLECOINS
A member of The Board of Governors of the U.S. Federal Reserve is calling for laws that would allow banks and institutions to issue dollar-pegged digital assets.
In a speech given by Christopher J. Waller at a recent conference in San Francisco, the Fed governor argues for a regulatory framework that would allow blue-chip financial institutions to issue regulated stablecoins.
According to Waller, stablecoins could be extremely beneficial to the financial system because they have numerous use cases such as broadening access to US dollars, easy cross-border payments and retail payments.
“The first theme I will explore is one that I have discussed in the past – the safety and soundness of stablecoins and the need for a clear regulatory regime for stablecoins in the United States…
This framework should allow both non-banks and banks to issue regulated stablecoins and should consider the effects of regulation on the payments landscape, including competing payment instruments.”
However, Waller says there are potential risks associated with stablecoins, including the possibility that they could become de-pegged from the fiat currency they are linked to.
“Stablecoins are forms of private money and, like any form of private money, are subject to run risk, and we have seen ‘de-pegs’ of some stablecoins in recent years. Additionally, all payment systems face the risk of failure, and stablecoins are subject to clearing, settlement, and other payment system risks as well.”
Earlier this month, Republican Senator Bill Hagerty of Tennessee proposed the GENIUS Act, a bill to regulate and define stablecoins as well as establish licensing and reserve requirements for issuer.
