What are the reasons for virtual currency pegging to us dollar
almost all currencies in the world have a conversion rate to the US dollar, and the exchange rates between the two non US dollar currencies are calculated by their respective conversion rates to the US dollar. So it can be said that all currencies are pegged to the US dollar
as for whether the specific exchange rate policy is closely linked to the US dollar, several major currencies, free floating or managed floating, it depends on the policies of each country
Hong Kong dollar, Japanese yen and euro are all linked
In the era of gold standard, countries determine their exchange rate by the gold content of their currencies, which is called pegging to gold. The link between the currency and gold is based on the free circulation of gold. During the first World War, the Warring States terminated gold exports one after another, and their currencies devalued sharply. They could no longer exchange gold at a fixed rate. At this time, the currency was actually decoupled from gold< According to the Bretton Woods Agreement of 1944, the currencies of member countries of the International Monetary Fund should be exchanged with gold or US dollar at a fixed exchange rate, that is, linked to gold or US dollar. This agreement established the international monetary status of the US dollar, and the monetary system of various countries established by this agreement is called the Bretton Woods system. In August 1971, the US dollar stopped its free exchange with gold, and the Bretton Woods system collapsed. Then the currencies of various countries no longer exchanged for us dollar at a fixed exchange rate, that is, they were decoupled from the US dollar
exchange rate linkage means that when the main foreign exchange rates rise or fall, the exchange rate of the domestic currency rises or falls together strong>
therefore, at present, the currencies of the world will not and cannot be decoupled from the US dollar.
