AI needs far more capital and compute than traditional markets can easily provide, creating a trillion-dollar financing gap to build the necessary infrastructure.
Stablecoins and tokenized dollar channels are positioned to fill that gap by minting dollar liquidity, buying Treasuries and other dollar assets, and enabling real-time, algorithmic settlement for machine-driven markets.
That shift concentrates huge financial power in stablecoin issuers and ties national security to their health, raising systemic risks if trust or liquidity falters while also reinforcing dollar hegemony and greater state involvement in underwriting compute infrastructure.
