Looking back from the 2025 milestone, the integration of cryptocurrency with national sovereignty is no longer a fantasy. Over-collateralized stablecoins like USDD essentially build a "code-driven central bank framework." If a country truly adopts it as legal tender, it means voluntarily relinquishing the power to issue unlimited paper currency, but in exchange, it would undergo a complete rebuild of the international credit system. Think about it—all collateral assets (such as BTC, TRX) are on-chain and transparent, and this transparency itself is the best signal for financing—investors can see the financial health at a glance.



The more radical aspect lies in the change of the financial power structure. Ordinary people will no longer hold depreciating paper currency every year but will have access to real assets directly connected to the global DeFi ecosystem. Saving can automatically generate interest, transfers are instant and nearly zero-cost—equivalent to a leap over a century of financial infrastructure, directly entering the era of digital civilization.

But risks are also evident. Governance of such stablecoins still bears traces of centralization, entrusting monetary policy to code and global node operations. When a financial crisis occurs, it could trigger more complex chain reactions than traditional financial systems. Coupled with the counter-pressure from the traditional international financial system, this is no small matter.

Ultimately, this is a high-risk experiment. But for economies on the edge of the global financial order, it might be the only chance for a turnaround. If stablecoins truly evolve into a country's legal tender, that will be the ultimate test: in the digital economy era, whether the transparency of code can finally surpass political promises and become the most credible asset backing of a nation.

Really? Handing over central bank authority to code? Isn't that essentially leaving the fate of the economy to global node operations? If the network encounters issues someday, it could lead to a direct economic collapse. By the way, the USDD collateral framework does look impressive, but everyone knows who controls the governance centrally—don't fool yourself. Wait, is this article actually suggesting that poorer countries might have a better chance to get on board? That logic is quite interesting.

Code-driven central banks? Sounds romantic, but the risks are just as frightening. Wait, if a financial crisis really happens, what’s the use of on-chain transparency? The international financial system will definitely counter with force, and small countries won’t have it that easy to turn the tide. The USDD model sounds good, but the centralized governance logic still hasn't been solved. In the end, it’s still a gamble on how the financial landscape will evolve.

You can trust the code, but politicians are another story. This wave does have some real substance.

The real key is, who dares to be the first to take the plunge? In my opinion, this set of things is ideal in theory, but when it comes to implementation, how could the central bank willingly relinquish power... I believe in the idea that saving money can automatically generate interest, and zero-cost transfers are also feasible, but when a crisis hits, what’s the use of on-chain transparency? Code can't run itself; people still have to run it. Edge economies might really have to bet on this, or there will be no way out. It will only be interesting when a country truly adopts USDD as its fiat currency... for now, it’s all just talk. The centralized shadow is always there, claiming to be trustless—laughable.
