🇺🇸 Is the U.S. Really Looking to Crypto for Its $37 Trillion Debt?
At the Eastern Economic Forum, Russian advisor Anton Kobyakov suggested that Washington is looking for ways to lighten its $37 trillion debt by turning to crypto and gold. He claimed the U.S. could try to “rewrite the rules” of these markets as alternatives to the dollar system.
There’s no evidence from U.S. officials to back this up; it remains speculation. However, the idea itself raises an important point, digital assets are becoming a bigger part of the conversation in global finance.
If a major economy ever attempted to incorporate stablecoins or crypto markets into debt management, the effects would reach far beyond fiscal policy. It would test the stability of digital assets, change liquidity flows, and possibly alter trust in the dollar’s role worldwide.
For now, this is an assumption voiced abroad, not a confirmed U.S. plan. Still, the connection between crypto and sovereign debt strategy shows just how much it has entered mainstream financial discussions.
