Stablecoins as a new channel for global dollar demand

Conviction: 62% · Horizon: 3Y · 2026-05-01
Stablecoin adoption can deepen demand for short-term Treasuries and strengthen the dollar system outside the banking sector

Stablecoins offer fast digital access to dollars for users in weak-currency economies and are backed mainly by high-quality liquid dollar assets. If adoption scales, issuers should accumulate more short-duration Treasuries, expanding offshore dollar usage while transferring value capture to the platforms that control issuance, distribution, and custody.

Instrument Side Target Reason
COIN Long Coinbase is positioned to benefit if stablecoins become a larger global savings and payments rail. Rising USDC usage can increase transaction activity, custody relevance, and economics tied to reserve-backed dollar balances.
