What began as a US-dominated experiment in digital liquidity is morphing into a multipolar fight over who controls the rails of tomorrow’s monetary system. And the most consequential moves are unfolding in Asia—quietly, deliberately, and at increasing speed.For a decade, dollar-backed tokens (such as USDT and USDC) have dominated the market. But 2025 is the year that the reign begins to crack. Behind closed doors in Seoul, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Jakarta, a different plan is being…

Few topics divide the crypto industry more than politics. Donald Trump is often referred to as “America’s first crypto president,” while the Biden administration earned a reputation for being hostile toward the sector. But when rhetoric is stripped away and replaced with market data, the picture becomes more nuanced.
