U.S. debt has become a ticking time bomb. The $37 trillion U.S. Treasury debt is becoming increasingly burdensome in a high-interest-rate environment. Trump's proposed "Centennial Zero-Coupon Bond" plan is essentially inflation transfer—non-cooperation will lead to financial sanctions. This is no longer an economic game but a naked power restructuring.
Global central banks are quietly turning away. Although Japan holds $1.1 trillion in U.S. debt, any buying or selling would harm itself, and it has already fallen into a passive position. Meanwhile, China's gold reserves have surpassed 74 million ounces, and U.S. debt holdings have fallen below $700 billion—this is a silent asset transfer.
De-dollarization is no longer just a slogan but is rapidly advancing through concrete actions. Saudi Arabia has started settling oil exports in RMB, Southeast Asian countries are collectively shifting to local currency settlement frameworks, and emerging markets are swiftly adjusting their foreign exchange reserve structures. The dollar's monopoly as the global reserve currency is being eroded.
What does this mean for the crypto ecosystem? As the credit foundation of the traditional financial system begins to loosen, capital will seek new safe-haven tools. Bitcoin, once called "digital gold," is about to turn this metaphor into a real demand. It is no longer a speculative concept but a necessary asset allocation option.
Against the backdrop of the restructuring of the U.S. debt system and the reshaping of the global monetary order, censorship-resistant, supply-fixed crypto assets are shifting from risk assets to strategic assets. This is not alarmist but an inevitable result of geopolitical changes. The current market rebound may just be the beginning.

No, does this logic hold? The US debt bomb theory has been shouted for so many years, why hasn't it exploded yet?
---
Gold reserves are increasing, and US debt sales are decreasing... Is this data real? You should check for yourself.
---
Decoupling from the dollar sounds great, but what about global trade? Can it really be replaced?
---
They're starting to promote buying coins again. They say the same thing every round. Wake up.
---
I haven't seen any substantial changes with Saudi Arabia settling oil in RMB.
---
Strategic assets? Come on, crypto assets are even more unstable than US bonds, okay?
---
Now the reasons for buying coins are so grand, it feels like a bear market signal.
---
Digital gold? Why does it still seem to surge and crash every few days?
---
This article mixes macro analysis with crypto marketing. I really can't stand it.
---
Japan is indeed having a tough time, but let's not think about the worst-case scenario blindly, okay?

Sigh, I really can't understand the game of US bonds anymore... But on the other hand, this wave of de-dollarization is really no longer just on paper.

The game of US bonds is becoming more and more complicated, and the real asset transfer is happening silently.

Regarding U.S. debt, I really can't hold it together anymore. Zero-coupon bonds are just playing dirty.

I'm a bit tired of hearing about the US debt bomb, but Saudi Arabia really has started settling oil exports in RMB... It's truly terrifying upon closer reflection.

I've heard too many times about the US debt bomb theory. The key is when it will be detonated.
---
Haha, China quietly hoarding gold—I've seen this trick before. Let's see how long the dollar can hold up.
---
We've been talking about de-dollarization for so many years. Can it really happen... I'm a bit skeptical.
---
Is the Bitcoin as digital gold meme finally going to reverse? Then I need to increase my position.
---
Southeast Asia's local currency settlement framework? We should keep a close eye on this; the opportunity might be right here.
---
Honestly, before the US debt system collapses, crypto assets are the real hard assets. No doubt about it.
---
Wait a minute... Japan's 11 trillion USD in US debt puts it in a dilemma. This is what it feels like to be hijacked.
---
Censorship resistance, fixed supply... Ah, this is the reason to buy Bitcoin. It's time to act, isn't it?
---
Global central banks are turning around, while retail investors are still debating whether to buy or not. That's the gap.
---
The US dollar's monopoly is being eroded... sounds great, but it might take several more years to fully realize.
