U.S. government actions under the current administration may be accelerating a move away from a dollar-dominated global system toward a more multipolar currency order, argue Gary Gensler, Lev Menand and Joshua Younger in a VoxEU analysis. They warn that regulatory and policy shifts are eroding international confidence that underpins dollar dominance. #USD #Fed The authors list concrete steps: in the first week of his term President Trump signed measures aiming to “transform the U.S. into the world’s crypto hub”; in March the White House set a goal to create strategic bitcoin reserves; in April the DOJ said it would disband its crypto enforcement team; and the new SEC chair in April said crypto’s rise could “modernize aspects of the American financial system.” Regulators are now to submit proposed rules for review to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), and the administration has sought greater authority over agency leadership. Economists cited warn these moves—along with public criticism of Fed Chair Jay Powell and steps to increase White House oversight of the Fed—could undermine trust in U.S. institutions. As one former Basel Committee official put it, global financial stability is a public good; Mark Sobel has warned U.S. actions may weaken the economic and institutional foundations that sustained dollar dominance. #FiatNews
