Advisers linked to former President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace are exploring a dollar-pegged stablecoin for Gaza’s postwar reconstruction. The proposal, in early stages, aims to facilitate aid and commerce in a territory with damaged banking infrastructure but would deepen dependence on U.S. monetary influence.
Advisers connected to Donald Trump’s Board of Peace are discussing a dollar-pegged stablecoin for use in Gaza. The proposal, reported as an early-stage exploration, would create a private payment rail for aid, salaries, and commerce.
The concept was presented by Israeli tech entrepreneur Liran Tancman, an unpaid adviser to the board chaired by Jared Kushner. No formal proposal has been submitted to the U.S. administration, and the stablecoin would not replace a Palestinian currency.
Proponents see it as a digital fix for Gaza’s broken banking system after more than a year of war. A stablecoin backed 1:1 by U.S. dollars could provide immediate settlement and reduce reliance on scarce physical cash.
The plan highlights how dominant dollar-backed tokens like USDT and USDC already extend U.S. monetary influence. Embedding Gaza’s economy into such a system would create a deep structural dependence and potential sanction exposure.
The discussions occur as Trump-linked figures show increased crypto involvement. There is no disclosed direct link between this proposal and other family-linked stablecoin ventures.
For now, the idea remains conceptual and would require regulatory approval. It illustrates that stablecoins are now tools under consideration for state-adjacent economic rebuilding.
