#USNationalDebt , the US national debt has just surpassed $37 trillion USD ($37T) — a record high — with 25% of tax revenue going solely to interest payments. This milestone was confirmed around June 20, 2025.
🏦 Key impacts highlighted by Binance and crypto experts:
The increase may influence crypto markets, as some investors turn to Bitcoin and stablecoins as hedges against inflation or dollar devaluation.
However, there are also concerns that rising debt will put upward pressure on Treasury yields, which could make risky assets, including crypto, less attractive.
Additional context:
The Peterson Foundation and Treasury data place the debt at around $36–$36.2 trillion as of recent dates (April–May 2025).
The coincidence between the two estimates is explained by the increase of approximately USD 800 billion between May and mid-June, driven by budget deficits and higher interest rates.
In summary:
Current debt: ≈USD 37 trillion (historical record reached ~June 20, 2025)
Effect on crypto: Possible increase in demand for BTC and stablecoins as a safe haven
Risk: Higher Treasury yields could attract capital away from crypto
