Trade wars could spur governments to embrace Web3 — Truebit
Trustless verification of a product's origins could become an important use case for blockchain networks.
Escalating trade wars are rattling cryptocurrency markets — but they are also creating new use cases for blockchain networks, Truebit executives told Cointelegraph.
On April 2, President Donald Trump announced plans to charge sweeping tariffs on US imports, prompting other nations to threaten retaliatory measures. Trump later paused the tariff rollout for certain countries — but the possibility of a global trade war still looms, especially after Trump reiterated his commitment to taxing Chinese goods.
If high tariffs materialize, blockchain technology can play an important role in ensuring governments apply them fairly, according to the executives. Blockchain can “really help you prove provenance [...] proving the chain of custody,” Federico Kattan, Truebit’s chief technology officer, told Cointelegraph.

VanEck Proposes BitBonds: 90% Treasury, 10% BTC to Refinance $14 Trillion U.S. Debt Over 3 Years
VanEck has proposed a new financial instrument called 'BitBonds' to help the U.S. refinance its $14 trillion national debt over the next three years. The proposal aims to provide investors with inflation protection by linking Treasury bonds to Bitcoin. The structure of BitBonds includes a 90% allocation to Treasury securities and a 10% allocation to Bitcoin, allowing for full Bitcoin upside until a 4.5% annual return is reached. After that threshold, the upside will be split 50/50 between Bitcoin and Treasury returns. This initiative is seen as a solution to align the interests of investors with the need for government financing.
