Currency News: Why Crypto, Euro & Yuan Can’t Replace the US Dollar

However, in reality, the US dollar truly has no competitors and is a currency that truly has the power to turn the tables around. Here are three reasons why the US dollar cannot be defeated by either gold, crypto, the yuan, or the euro.

According to a Financial Times article, most alternatives like the yuan and euro have project flexibility, compelling experts to crown the US dollar as unbeatable, no matter how intense circumstances may eventually become.

“The dollar’s dominance will remain in place for the foreseeable future because there are no viable alternatives,” predicts Sobel at the OMFIF. “I question whether Europe can get its act together, and China is clearly not opening its capital account any time soon. So what’s the alternative? There just isn’t one.”
