#数字资产动态追踪 Will US bonds really collapse? This question has troubled many holders.



Honestly — you probably won't see that day in your lifetime.

**Why?**

First, default requires extreme conditions. The only trigger for a US bond crisis is the US Congress refusing to raise the debt ceiling. In the US political system of checks and balances, the probability of this happening is lower than a meteor hitting Earth. Historically, multiple debt crises have ultimately been resolved through forced extensions.

Second, the backing is too strong. US bonds are supported by the world's largest economy, military power, and technological monopoly. Global capital continues to pour in. The auction data from early 2026 already shows the point — oversubscription reaching 2.5 times, with institutional buyers rushing in, as can be imagined.

Third, the key weapon is the power to print money. As the global reserve currency, the US dollar has a trump card: printing money to buy debt when necessary (quantitative easing). Other countries dream of having this privilege, but only the US has it.

**What are smart money doing?**

While retail investors are still debating "Will US bonds collapse or not," institutions are doing one simple thing — buying long-term bonds with high yields at low prices. Once the Federal Reserve begins a rate-cutting cycle, these bonds will generate huge unrealized gains. By 2026, this logic might be the most stable arbitrage window in the world.

**But that doesn't mean you can sleep soundly.**

The real risks are hidden in unseen places: the long-term erosion of US dollar credit, repeated shocks from inflation, and the slow de-dollarization worldwide. These are the invisible gray rhinos that can cause harm.

Compared to betting on a US bond default, it's better to think in reverse — how to profit from its "won't collapse" property. Ordinary investors can allocate bond ETFs to lock in returns; institutions should be cautious of US bonds' role as the global asset pricing benchmark, as any fluctuation will trigger chain reactions in crypto markets, stocks, and commodities.

The fundamental rule of the financial world remains unchanged: "Too big to fail" is always the strongest moat.

Damn, still spreading anxiety. The US debt issue has been a dead end for a long time, and bond ETFs are actually the real deal.

Smart money is all in bottoming out bonds and other interest rate cuts, retail investors are still arguing on Reddit about whether US Treasuries will explode or not, and that's how the gap is created.

Bro, this analysis is reliable. The joke about the US debt explosion is like Y2K, always in the next decade. But what we should really watch is de-dollarization; it feels like the real knife in the dark.

Once the printing press starts, it won't stop. There's really nothing to fuss over about this...

Still debating whether US debt will explode or not, honestly, overthinking it a bit.

Wake up, it's just as hard for me to make big money from a US debt default as it is to dream about it.

Speaking of which, instead of worrying about whether US debt will explode or not, it's better to think about how to make a profit from the interest rate cut cycle. Institutions are already starting to buy long-term bonds at low prices, while retail investors are still hesitating in place. The gap...

What are you thinking? U.S. Treasuries are a volatile volcano for arbitrage; only when it doesn't explode can you make money.

Wake up, the U.S. debt default is not something we need to worry about, but rather how to exploit it for profit.
