The U.S. Federal Reserve has proposed allowing stablecoin issuers, such as Tether and USD Coin, to directly enter the U.S. banking system through what is known as a master account, enabling them to trade directly with the central bank without the need for traditional bank intermediaries. This move could mark a significant turning point for the financial system, as it is expected to increase demand for the U.S. dollar, which is tied to most stablecoins, and enhance its status as a global reserve currency. It could also lead to capital inflows into the U.S. Treasury, thereby contributing to economic stability and boosting confidence in the dollar.

As the use of stablecoins in digital transactions and e-commerce increases, there may be a gradual decline in the demand for traditional paper currency, especially in everyday transactions and online payments. Although paper currency will not be completely replaced in the near future due to regulatory and technological challenges, this shift accelerates the transition to a society less reliant on paper money, reflecting the trend of the global financial system towards digitization and payment innovation. #FedHostsInnovationSummit
