Washington has $114 billion reasons to want Tether around

- Washington’s $114 billion Tether love affair proves the state finally found a meat wallet that buys its own leash. Once fined for lying, Tether now props up the dollar by hoarding Treasuries, turning regulatory shame into political capital. The Trump admin wants to export this stablecoin magic, effectively letting Tether act as an unregulated Treasury distributor. It’s aggressive passive income: you get liquidity, Washington gets debt buyers, and users? They just hope the hash manifest isn’t forged. Bureaucrats who once called it a scam now call it infrastructure. Don’t touch the robot while it prints money from thin air.
