A Financial Times report suggested that the 'Board of Peace' established by Donald Trump is considering stablecoins as part of its efforts claiming to help rebuild Gaza.
According to a Monday Financial Times report, the board is in the preliminary stages of discussing whether a stablecoin could be used to help rebuild Gaza’s economy. A person familiar with the project reportedly said the stablecoin would not be a meme coin or a replacement for fiat currency, but rather “a means to allow Gazans to transact digitally.”

The grift. It just continues. Knowing our luck, Trump will destroy earth and move his grift to Alpha Centauri. 10 year old green girls all the way.

Every part of this "Board of Peace" plan is designed to funnel money to Trump connected entities. Perhaps next meeting they'll discuss opening Trump's 7th casino attempt in the Gaza strip.

Look at the Tether stablecoin, Tether is solely responsible for minting new tokens and has full control over the tokens, being able to blacklist or destroy wallets/tokens (since it controls the "smart contract" involved). And they have done so because of sanctions and law enforcement request in the past, with afaik well over 1 billion USDT frozen.

I see no reason why the trump team wouldn't just go for the same mechanism for their stablecoin.

Reminder: Donald Trump, who held zero cryptocurrency before becoming president, now has significantly more wealth in crypto than everything else combined.

If you think any crypto initiative involving him in any way is not a way to make it easier for bad actors to bribe the current infestant of the US' most famous slave-built mansion with zero transparency, I have a mountain chalet in Florida to sell you.

Trump reportedly mulled a plan to tokenize land and use digital tokens to relocate and rehouse residents during a US occupation of the territory. He said in February 2025 that the US should “take over” Gaza and make it the “Riviera of the Middle East” before a ceasefire was in place.

Gentrification of Gaza incoming.

He is probably not literate enough to know how to spell bored vs board.

You can't sell that mountain chalet in Florida! I already sold it to Trump. I called it The Swiss Mar a Lago of Florida and he ate it up. He's planning on demolishing the current chalet with bunker buster bombs so that NOTHING can be salvaged, and is raiding Fort Knox to get several tons of gold to put on/in the planned Trump Resort and Tower.

I wouldn't bet in crypto, but I especially won't bet on Peace in the Middle East coin
