Stablecoins, the Dollar & Digital Disruption 

On this episode of America’s Gold Authority® Podcast, host Mike Barnes is joined by Philip N. Diehl, President of U.S. Money Reserve and former Director of the U.S. Mint, and Brad Chastain, U.S. Money Reserve’s Director of Education. Together, they break down how newly passed legislation could accelerate the use of stablecoins—digital assets tied to the U.S. dollar—and what that means for global finance, privacy, inflation, and systemic risk. 

The episode explores how stablecoins function, why the U.S. government is promoting them, and the risks involved for consumers and the broader economy. From geopolitical tensions to the limits of regulation, this conversation dives into the evolving landscape of digital currency and how physical gold may continue to serve as a reliable financial protection and growth strategy.
