➤ Major financial players like BlackRock, Visa, and MasterCard are integrating with blockchain infrastructure, not to adopt crypto, but to build the US dollar's future on it.
➤ The upcoming regulatory framework for stablecoins (Genius Act) and market structure (Clarity Act) is accelerating this shift, aiming to improve cross-border dollar transactions and potentially increase demand for US Treasuries.
➤ This strategic move by Wall Street is seen as a defensive play against 'digital dollarization' in Europe and positions the dollar to leverage crypto's efficiency for global settlement, while crypto itself becomes the underlying infrastructure.
