Federal Reserve Governor Stephen Miran told attendees at the Delphi Economic Forum in Athens, Greece that stablecoins pegged to fiat reinforce the US dollar and that recent US policy changes will boost growth without raising inflation. He connected sweeping deregulation and the passage of the GENIUS Act to stronger competition and productivity, citing those as reasons for faster growth.
Miran said the wider use of stablecoins could let the Fed pursue easier monetary policy, a view he raised in November. In September he also cited trends such as lower population growth, falling housing inflation, and tariff-driven budget improvements as factors that could permit an easier stance.
He recommended about 150 basis points of interest-rate cuts in 2026 to support jobs, noting inflation around 2.3% is close to the Fed’s target. The Federal Reserve remains divided after earlier cuts totaling 75 basis points.
Stablecoins pegged to the US dollar have seen steady adoption over the past two years, with growth led by Tether (USDT). Miran’s comments, combined with recent legislation and wider acceptance among officials, signal continued attention on stablecoins and other digital assets.
