The ideology behind the US policy on crypto and digital money | DW News

As global confrontation around trade picks up, we take a look at the strength the United States has in financial markets. Special crypto tokens called stablecoins have emerged as a tool to advance dollar dominance -- a position some in US President Donald Trump's administration have taken. The US position towards crypto differs from many other countries around the world. So how did they get there? We take a deep dive into the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 blueprint for a second Trump term and untangle the ideological roots of the administration's thinking. To get there, we travel back in time to how money worked in the 19th century in the United States and how offshore dollar markets emerged in the late 1940s in London. Because the battlefields of money will play out about how much public backing each market segment will get in the future.
