Is the debt structure about to run into trouble?



Latest data: In the past year, the US Treasury has issued $25.4 trillion in T-Bills (short-term zero-coupon bonds), accounting for 69.4% of the total $36.6 trillion issued—this ratio is approaching a historical ceiling.

What's the problem? More and more short-term debt is snowballing to replace long-term debt. If inflation makes a comeback and the Fed is forced to raise rates again... interest costs? They’ll blow right through the roof.

What does this have to do with crypto? When macro liquidity tightens, the crypto market inevitably gets hit. The only remedy now is rate cuts, but whether the Fed dares to act is another question entirely.

If the Fed really dares to stay tough, this round in the crypto market might totally crash.

69.4% is approaching the ceiling, snowballing debt... This is exactly the eve before the supply line breaks.

Here we go again? The Fed doesn't dare to cut rates at all; all we can do is watch the crypto market get strangled to death.

The Fed's hand is getting harder and harder to play, and the short-term debt snowball will have to be dealt with sooner or later.
