#USNationalDebt 🇺🇸 Why is it exceeding $36 TRILLION and how is it affecting crypto?

US debt has reached $36.21 trillion (106,447 USD per person 😱), with 3 key factors:

1️⃣ Accelerated pace: It grows $4.27B daily (50K USD per second!) and could reach $37B by October.

2️⃣ Imminent risk: If the "debt ceiling" is not raised before August-September 2025, the US could default.

3️⃣ Stratospheric cost: Interest will consume 13.55% of public spending in 2025 (vs. 9% in 2020).

🔍 Relationship with crypto?

- Bitcoin as a hedge: Historically, $BTC rises when the dollar weakens due to debt or inflation.

- Flight to real assets: Digital gold (+32% YTD) and backed tokens (e.g., $XAU) are gaining appeal.

- DeFi opportunity: Tokenized bonds on blockchain offer up to 8% APY vs. 3.36% for Treasuries.

💡 Conclusion: Debt reinforces the role of cryptocurrencies as an alternative to the traditional system.
