Dollar stablecoin for Gaza? Trump advisers’ proposal draws scrutiny
Advisers linked to Donald Trump’s Board of Peace are exploring a dollar-pegged stablecoin for Gaza to facilitate aid, salaries, and commerce amid the territory's damaged banking infrastructure. The proposal, still in early stages, was presented by an Israeli tech entrepreneur and would function as a supplementary payment rail—traceable and compliant with U.S. regulations. Proponents argue it offers a practical solution for fast, low-cost payments in a cash-scarce environment. However, it would deepen Gaza’s structural reliance on the U.S. dollar and expose the economy to potential sanctions or enforcement risks. The idea reflects the growing role of stablecoins in geopolitical and reconstruction debates, even as it remains unclear whether it will advance formally.
