The President’s Coin: Trump’s Quiet Coup Over the Future of Money

With Congress handing the keys to America’s digital currency to private hands, explore how Trump’s stablecoin threatens to replace public oversight with oligarch control no regulators, no safety net

While most of the country remains consumed by immigration raids, culture war eruptions, or the slow-drip scandal of the Epstein files, something far more enduring and system-altering has quietly taken place. As Max from UNFTR explains in his landmark new report for the MidasTouch Network, Donald Trump, through a series of three congressional bills, has effectively privatized a key function of government: the issuance and management of money.

This is not hyperbole. With the passage of three key pieces of legislation, the Genius Act, the Clarity Act, and the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act Congress has quietly rewritten the rules of money in America, transferring power away from public institutions and placing it firmly in private hands.
