While the officials are thinking about the potential of stablecoins and the threat to the traditional economy, Bloomberg strategist Mike McGlown stated a thunder announcement. According to the analyst, USDT transactions positively affect the value of the fiat US dollar.

“Trades in digital USD are just a matter of time. The US government should start regulating the market to crash China down,” stated McGlown.
