The U.S. Treasury has unveiled draft designs for a $1 coin featuring former President Donald Trump, intended to mark the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence in 2026. The design, which includes Trump's profile and a raised fist, has sparked legal debates due to laws against depicting living presidents on currency. This proposal coincides with Trump's recent advocacy for $1,000–$2,000 stimulus checks, which analysts warn could exacerbate inflation. The potential for increased inflationary pressures is driving interest in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, seen as a hedge against currency devaluation. The combination of commemorative currency and economic stimulus may accelerate crypto adoption.
