Descrição do livro
What if the future of money was decided not in open markets, but in smoke-filled rooms by intelligence agencies, corrupt politicians, and offshore fraudsters? Stable Coin Wars is the explosive investigative account of how the battle to control the world's digital dollar was fought — and who really won.
It begins with Tether, the stablecoin that claimed every token was backed by a real dollar. It wasn't. Founded by Brock Pierce — a former child actor with ties to convicted paedophiles and Jeffrey Epstein — and operated through a web of offshore shell companies, Tether became the backbone of the entire crypto industry while concealing an $850 million black hole created when customer funds were secretly routed through a Panamanian shadow bank run by a former NFL team co-owner. The cover-up involved a Puerto Rico bank whose board included the former Director of the FBI and a former federal judge.
Meanwhile, Do Kwon's Terra/LUNA promised 20% guaranteed returns and grew to a $60 billion market cap before collapsing in two weeks and destroying the savings of hundreds of thousands of ordinary investors. A subsequent lawsuit alleged that elite Wall Street trading firm Jane Street had deliberately engineered the collapse for profit.
Sam Bankman-Fried donated $100 million in stolen customer funds to US politicians, held private meetings with the SEC Chairman to negotiate a regulatory monopoly, and ran a multi-billion dollar fraud through FTX and Alameda Research — until a single tweet from Binance's CZ triggered a bank run that brought the whole edifice down overnight.
The US government's response was ruthless: a coordinated campaign to cut crypto off from the banking system destroyed Silvergate and Signature Bank — the industry's financial arteries — while a $4.3 billion prosecution took down Binance in what the book argues was as much a geopolitical strike against Chinese influence in global finance as a law enforcement action.
And through it all, Tether survived. Not despite its history of fraud — but because it had made itself indispensable to US intelligence agencies as a surveillance and sanctions tool, embedding former CIA and NSA officials into its corporate structure.
The brilliant co-creator of MakerDAO's DAI stablecoin — the last truly decentralised alternative — tweeted that the CIA were going to kill him. Four hours later, he drowned on a beach in Puerto Rico. No foul play was found.
Stable Coin Wars follows the money, the power, and the bodies — from the birth of Bitcoin to the passage of the GENIUS Act — to reveal how the dream of free, censorship-resistant money was captured by Wall Street, Washington, and Langley before most people even knew the war had begun.
