In a recent interview, Sacks emphasized the bill’s momentum, noting that 15 Democrats joined Republicans in supporting the measure during the critical cloture vote, eliminating the risk of a filibuster.
“We have every expectation now that it’s going to pass,” Sacks stated.
He laid out three primary reasons for the bill’s bipartisan appeal:
Stablecoins offer a faster, cheaper, and more efficient payment system for the U.S. economy. They extend the dominance of the U.S. dollar online, strengthening American monetary leadership in the digital age. They could generate billions or even trillions in new demand for U.S. Treasuries, helping fund government operations.“We already have over $200 billion in stablecoins—it’s just unregulated,” he said. “If we provide legal clarity, we could create trillions in Treasury demand practically overnight.”
Sacks also linked the legislation to broader geopolitical strategy, referencing recent U.S.
AI diplomacy efforts in the Middle East, suggesting stablecoins and digital infrastructure are part of a strategic push to secure U.S. tech dominance globally.
