U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent pushed back against a bearish view of the American economy, arguing that growth remains strong, foreign demand for U.S. assets is still in place, and the dollar continues to hold a dominant position in global markets. He also tied that argument to the crypto sector, saying the dollar’s reach extends into stablecoins as well. The report, published by CoinDesk, frames Bessent’s comments as a direct response to negative assessments of the U.S. economy rather than a broader policy announcement.
