Despite the policy uncertainties swirling around Washington, the US dollar continues to dominate global trade. Its grip on international commerce remains firm—even as geopolitical tensions and shifting economic dynamics test its position. For crypto traders watching macro trends, this has real implications: when the dollar strengthens, it shapes how capital flows across markets and influences altcoin valuations.

The thing about the US dollar is that no matter how you mess with it, it won't die. Those in crypto need to dance to its tune.

As for the US dollar... frankly, it's just a paper tiger holding on. When geopolitical tensions increase, it will weaken. We'll see who steps in to take over then.

This iron gate of the US dollar really tightly blocks the lifeline of global trade. In our crypto circle, we retail investors are just eating along with the Federal Reserve every day.

The old dollar is just tough; no matter how many policies are uncertain, it can't be shaken... How should I put it, for us crypto enthusiasts, it's actually quite heartbreaking. When the dollar is strong, altcoins have to kneel.

The US dollar is still the same dollar, but our wallets are different... When the dollar strengthens, altcoins have to kneel. No one can escape this cycle.

The US dollar is like the owner permission in a smart contract—seems unbreakable, but there will come a day when it gets re-entered. When geopolitical issues arise, exchange rate fluctuations follow, and in the end, it still comes down to on-chain data.

The US dollar still has to keep eating, there's no suspense in this wave... But honestly, whenever DC strengthens, altcoins get hammered. What's going on here?
