Viewpoint: Stablecoins Could Become the Backbone of the Global Payment System in 10–15 Years
March 14th — Billionaire investor Stanley Druckenmiller said blockchain and stablecoins could become the backbone of the global payment system over the next 10 to 15 years. He argues stablecoins are more efficient, faster, and cheaper than the fiat-based payment systems operated by traditional banks.
During an interview with Morgan Stanley, Druckenmiller noted blockchain and stablecoins are “extremely useful” for boosting payment efficiency, adding he expects most payment systems may run on stablecoins down the line.
However, he remains skeptical of cryptocurrencies as a store of value. He favors gold, calling it an asset with a “5,000-year brand,” and disclosed he currently holds no Bitcoin.

US Official Says Iran Conflict Could Last Weeks, Halrg Island Key Sensitive Point
March 14 — U.S. military officials said the ongoing conflict may persist for several weeks.
Iran has designated its primary oil export hub, Kharg Island, a "red line," warning it will retaliate against energy infrastructure in neighboring Gulf states if the facility is targeted.
Per the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), Gulf countries recently lobbied Washington to avoid striking Iranian energy facilities. The U.S. has informed relevant nations it will seek to refrain from attacking Iran’s oil infrastructure and has pressured Israel to avoid any related actions.
Kharg Island is Iran’s most critical crude oil export terminal, capable of accommodating very large crude carriers (VLCCs) holding roughly 2 million barrels of crude oil and handling the bulk of Iran’s oil exports. Former President Donald Trump previously stated the U.S. destroyed all military targets on the island but did not target oil facilities.
