IMF data shows just how dollar-centric the stablecoin world has become:
• ~75% of USDT reserves and 40% of USDC reserves are short-term U.S. Treasurys.
• Tether also holds ~5% of reserves in Bitcoin.
Meanwhile, the U.S. is rolling out the GENIUS Act, pushing stablecoin liquidity into distinct U.S. and EU pools.
The takeaway: as regulation tightens, stablecoins are solidifying their role as a new layer atop the dollar-based financial system.
