The backing implies the military. A strong military is necessary for any independent, thriving state.

The USA economy is the most dynamic and powerful in the world by a large margin. People want their wealth backed by this and will pay a premium for the right.

who this people ?
All the people holding trillions in treasuries. The people invested in USA markets. Etc.
