Fed’s Miran: Stablecoins Reinforce U.S. Dollar; Sees Easier Policy, Rate Cuts amid GENIUS.

On Jan. 14, 2026, in Athens, Federal Reserve Governor Stephen Miran said stablecoins bolster the U.S. dollar. “I believe that the sweeping deregulation under way in the United States will significantly boost competition, productivity and potential growth, allowing faster economic growth without putting upward pressure on inflation,” Miran said.

Stablecoins pegged to the U.S. dollar have grown steadily over the past two years, led by Tether USDT. Miran had earlier said wider stablecoin adoption could let the Fed ease monetary policy.

He called for 150 bps of interest-rate cuts in 2026 to support jobs. Miran said inflation near 2.3% is close to the Fed’s target.
