US Treasury Secretary Bets on Stablecoins as Key Buyers of US Debt, Driving Cryptocurrency Integration into the Financial Mainstream
BlockBeats News, August 20th, according to the Financial Times, U.S. Treasury Secretary Yellen is betting that the cryptocurrency industry will become a key buyer of U.S. debt in the coming years as the U.S. government seeks to support the massive demand for new bonds.
Sources familiar with the matter said Yellen has sought information from major stablecoin issuers such as Tether and Circle, with these discussions affecting the Treasury Department's plans to increase short-term Treasury bill sales in the coming quarters.
The U.S. Treasury Department hopes that stablecoins will become a key source of demand for U.S. government bonds, marking the latest sign of the White House's push to bring cryptocurrency into the heart of the U.S. financial system. Jay Barry, global head of rates strategy at JPMorgan, one of the largest bond market traders, said, "Secretary Yellen and the Treasury absolutely see stablecoins as a real source of new demand for U.S. debt. This is absolutely the reason he feels comfortable increasing the share of short-term debt issuance." (IG)
