Bitcoin may offer an escape from the dollar's reserve currency trap: Forbes Bitcoin has been presented as a possible neutral reserve asset after an old video of U.S. Vice President JD Vance resurfaced in which he questioned whether the dollar's reserve currency status ultimately benefits the United States.


JD Vance questioned whether dollar reserve status benefits the US economy despite lowering borrowing and import costs.
The debate centres on the Triffin dilemma, which describes the conflict created when a national currency also serves as a global reserve.
Stablecoins can increase global demand for dollars and US Treasuries without removing the underlying monetary conflict.

The Triffin dilemma, put simply, is wanting it both ways: stablecoins have not alleviated it, but have instead become even more deeply tied to U.S. Treasuries, while an asset like Bitcoin, anchored without any sovereign backing, may actually offer a way out.

The issue of U.S. dollar hegemony indeed has no solution, but using Bitcoin as a reserve asset? Let’s address its volatility first.
