Trump's Hamas Disarmament Deal Stokes Stablecoin Hopes in Gaza
US President Donald Trump has announced a 'historic' disarmament agreement with Hamas, which includes a phased disarmament of armed factions in Gaza and an Israeli withdrawal. The deal is part of a 20-point stabilization plan, but analysts and Israeli officials have flagged significant gaps between what Hamas agreed to and what Israel considers acceptable.
The framework builds on a ceasefire brokered by the US in October 2025 that ended roughly two years of military conflict. Trump made the announcement on Truth Social, crediting the Board of Peace, which he chairs alongside Jared Kushner. The plan is designed not just to end hostilities but to rebuild Gaza's shattered economy from the ground up.
The Board of Peace has previously floated introducing a dollar-pegged stablecoin to streamline digital transactions and deliver essential services in Gaza. This concept remains embedded in the broader reconstruction vision, but no specific token has been named yet.
