China’s decoupling from the Dollar. Are we on the brink of using the yuan as the new global currency, or will crypto take the spotlight?
We’ve explored crypto’s role in disrupting the global monetary order before, but there’s another force that’s going to have just as much of an impact…some would say much more. China!
