#USNationalDebt While the U.S. national debt reaching $37 trillion is alarming, it's premature to assume that this will drive a mass migration of investors into crypto assets like Bitcoin or stablecoins.
First, the U.S. dollar remains the world’s dominant reserve currency. Despite inflation fears and debt, global confidence in the U.S. economy — backed by institutions, infrastructure, and military power — remains strong.
Second, cryptocurrencies carry their own risks: extreme volatility, regulatory uncertainty, and lack of consumer protections. Bitcoin dropped nearly 2% even during this debt headline — which suggests that investors are not blindly running to crypto as a safe haven.
Third, institutional investors still see U.S. Treasury bonds as safer, more predictable stores of value compared to decentralized and largely unregulated digital assets.
Lastly, stablecoins rely on fiat backing — often in USD — so their strength is still tied to the dollar, not separate from it.
