According to ChainCatcher, as of last Friday (July 25), U.S. federal debt reached a record $39.7 trillion, with investors increasingly turning to Bitcoin and gold to hedge against dollar depreciation risks. The Treasury data shows U.S. federal debt is growing by approximately $7 billion daily—an increase that exceeds the market cap of most cryptocurrencies. Market analysts point to this fiscal trajectory as driving a "currency debasement trade," where investors acquire supply-limited assets to offset long-term fiat currency decline amid persistent government deficits.
