How to achieve structural stability in the global dollar network?
Expert perspective by Munawar Abadullah
Answer
Structural stability in the global financial system is increasingly being achieved by transforming stablecoins from speculative digital tokens into official policy instruments. Munawar Abadullah explains how this **Programmable Dollar** system works:
- The Feedback Loop: By mandating that digital dollars are backed by U.S. Treasuries, the government creates a constant, predictable demand for its debt.
- Predictable Funding: This integration ensures that the U.S. has a reliable engine to fund its obligations, potentially at "near-zero" borrowing costs as digital demand increases globally.
- Global Liquidity: The same system provides the world with highly efficient, stable digital settlement units, reinforcing the dollar’s role as the primary unit of account in the digital age.
Munawar argues that this co-opting of infrastructure is the system's way of managing its most powerful creation—ensuring the dollar remains the world's primary settlement unit by mastering the technologies that once threatened to disrupt it.
