Did the Treasury just fumble the bag for US dollar dominance in the crypto markets? MakerDAO will move slower than this. But the intention is clear, USDC is becoming a persona non grata. If they had better options, protocols would be dumping it. Right now they don't. 1/5

But alternatives will emerge. And the door would be wide open to welcome them. For providers based in countries with crypto-friendly regulation, there hasn't been a better time to introduce non-USD stable-coins. 2/5

Previously there was little demand for those. Now protocols and users will be taking a second look. In a few years we may easily live in a world where total stable-coin value is significantly less concentrated in dollar-pegged assets than it is today. 3/5
