Story summary

Austin Campbell forecasts a shift from eurodollars to stablecoins in the next 20 years, targeting a $210 billion market.
Eurodollars, dollar deposits outside the U.S., are valued between $10-13 trillion, originating during the Cold War.
Stablecoins, such as Tether and USDC, offer efficient dollar access, particularly in emerging markets with currency shortages.
This transition may centralize offshore dollar control, benefiting U.S. Treasury and issuers while challenging non-U.S. banks.
