When a nation's currency is broken, the people will choose a better one.
Stablecoins like RLUSD and USDC are becoming the de facto currencies in failed economies — not because governments want it, but because the people need it.
What happens when citizens of countries like Iran, Iraq, Venezuela, Syria, Congo, or Zimbabwe start using USD-backed stablecoins to trade goods, get paid, and store value?
The sovereign currency dies. Not by war. Not by sanctions. But by choice.
People no longer want hyperinflation, capital controls, or black-market conversions. They want stability. They want the dollar. And with stablecoins, they can finally access it — peer-to-peer, instantly, and permissionlessly.
The global impact?
Loss of monetary control by weak central banks
Rise of US monetary dominance without military or diplomatic intervention
Shift of capital out of failing fiat and into digital dollars
Underground economies formalizing via blockchain rails
Accelerated dollarization, even where it's illegal
And at the heart of this revolution is blockchain — the silent infrastructure that makes it all work.
Not banks. Not governments. Not middlemen.
Just pure cryptographic trust.
Among the most critical networks enabling this future is the XRPL (XRP Ledger) — fast, cheap, scalable, and purpose-built for payments. It’s already powering stablecoins like RLUSD, and it’s only just beginning.
This isn’t theoretical — it’s already happening. Stablecoins are dollarizing the globe from the ground up, with XRPL as the backbone.
The only question is:
Will the U.S. embrace this soft power revolution? Or let others — and other ledgers — fill the void?
