Sam Lyman compares dollar-backed stablecoins to Starlink, as they allow users to access the dollar wherever they have an internet connection.

Lyman estimates that the U.S. stablecoin market could exceed $3 trillion by the end of the decade, creating $3 trillion in new demand for U.S. debt. He also describes stablecoins as a gateway to Bitcoin and argues that their growth can benefit users, the United States, and Bitcoin over the long term.
