The U.S. has entered a new fiscal era as its debt interest payments surpass $1 trillion, now exceeding expenditures on defense and Medicare. This shift in federal spending priorities is expected to have significant implications for the cryptocurrency sector. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projects $13.8 trillion in interest payments over the next decade, with national debt anticipated to reach 118% of GDP by 2035. In response to these economic pressures, the GENIUS Act has been introduced, linking stablecoins to U.S. Treasuries as part of a broader national debt strategy. This legislative move could lead to higher taxes and stricter regulations for cryptocurrencies, as the government seeks to integrate digital assets into its fiscal framework.
