Trump’s Crypto Czar David Sacks Foresees Stablecoin Bill Generating Trillions For US Treasury ‘Practically Overnight’ – Mastercard (NYSE:MA)

David Sacks, the top crypto and AI advisor to President Donald Trump, has projected that the impending stablecoin legislation could unlock trillions for the U.S. Treasury.

What Happened: Sacks expressed optimism about the bipartisan support for the stablecoin legislation currently being deliberated in the Senate. He suggested that establishing a legal framework for the already $200 billion worth of unregulated stablecoins could lead to a significant demand for U.S. Treasuries, according to a CNBC report on Wednesday.

If we provide the legal clarity and legal framework for this, I think we could create trillions of dollars of demand for our Treasuries practically overnight, very…

LATEST: White House’s David Sacks Says Stablecoin Bill Unlocks Trillions for U.S. Treasury

White House support for stablecoin regulation is gaining momentum as Trump advisor David Sacks says it could unleash trillions in U.S. Treasury demand almost overnight. The GENIUS Act recently cleared a key Senate hurdle with support from 66 senators including 15 Democrats.

Sacks called the bill a major win for the U.S. economy saying over $200 billion in stablecoins already exist but lack regulation. He believes legal clarity will drive massive capital into U.S. Treasuries and create a modern payment system that is cheaper faster and more efficient. The GENIUS Act aims to regulate dollar-backed digital currencies under federal oversight.

Despite strong support critics point to Trump’s financial ties to the crypto sector. His family backs World Liberty Financial which launched a stablecoin called USD1 backed by Treasuries and dollar deposits. Sacks did not address questions about conflicts of interest but stressed that stablecoins offer a powerful economic opportunity if properly regulated.

Not ECDSA. Not Schnorr. Meet DahLIAS.

Aggregate signatures aren’t new. They’ve been around since the early 2000s. But building one that actually works in Bitcoin’s security model, with Bitcoin’s elliptic curve, has never been proven. Developers speculated it might be possible. They shared hand-wavy sketches and said, “maybe it’d work like MuSig2, but across transaction inputs.” The idea lingered for years as developer folklore, close, never provably confirmed.

That changed recently, when Jonas Nick and Tim Ruffing of Blockstream Research, together with Yannick Seurin of Ledger, published a paper that turned this cryptographic ghost story into a concrete,…
