 <p>“I hope nation states start to pay attention to the rise of cryptocurrencies because what looks very interesting and somewhat exotic effort to literally mine new coins in order to trade with them has the potential for undermining currencies, for undermining the role of the dollar as the reserve currency.”</p> <cite>Hillary Clinton at Davos 2024</cite>
</blockquote> 
<p>Clinton’s comments on cryptocurrencies touch upon a broader economic phenomenon called de-dollarization. De-dollarization refers to the process where countries reduce their reliance on the U.S. dollar in international trade and finance, often by switching to other currencies or assets for their transactions and reserves. </p> 
<p>This would lead to the global economy’s further adoption of Bitcoin and crypto.</p>
