Europe's options: Private stablecoins. Dollar dominated. Tokenized bank deposits. Too slow. Wholesale CBDCs. Too centralized. Hybrid model. Too complicated. While Europe debates. America passes the CLARITY Act. Dollar stablecoins become global infrastructure. The euro survived the petrodollar era. It may not survive the digital dollar era.
