Is the U.S. dollar going digital? In this Roundup episode, Josh Friedeman, Trey Sellers, and Jon Gordon break down how the GENIUS Act may be paving the way from the Petrodollar to a Crypto Dollar system.

They unpack why the GENIUS Act bans CBDCs while promoting stablecoins, how Tether and Circle are soaking up short-term U.S. Treasuries, and whether this shift actually solves the U.S. debt crisis—or just delays it.

You’ll also hear how Bitcoin’s censorship resistance compares to stablecoins, about the U.K. potentially dumping $7B in seized BTC, and what it all means for the future of money.

KEY TOPICS

  • GENIUS Act and stablecoins
  • US government debt and demand for treasuries
  • Bitcoin in 401(k) plans
  • UK selling Bitcoin reserves
  • Trump Media's Bitcoin purchase
  • Skepticism about a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) for the U.S. government
