#数字资产市场洞察 Risks of U.S. Debt and Stablecoin Concerns
There's a question I've been pondering—are U.S. Treasuries really safe?
Assuming U.S. Treasuries are fine, what about stablecoins pegged to them? Would they also be safe?
I think there might be a deeper logic behind this.
Look, U.S. Treasuries directly reflect national credit—it's a face issue. Defaulting outright isn't an option. But what if we think differently? Design a stablecoin that transfers the risk of U.S. debt into the crypto financial market—doesn't that sound a bit genius?
The general idea might be like this:
First, an oversupply of government bonds. When the market panics, U.S. Treasuries plummet—from $90 down to $80, $70. At this point, stablecoin issuers like Circle say: I have overallocated in U.S. debt, with an unrealized loss of 80%. Retail investors start to panic and withdraw. The stablecoin's value instantly crashes from $1—dropping to 0.2, 0.1, 0.00X.
Then, the government steps in: U.S. debt actually isn't a problem; this is just market behavior. The U.S. Treasury is injecting liquidity to buy back the debt.
Circle collapses. The government is willing to 'step in when necessary to help.' U.S. debt is sold off cheaply at $30. Large-scale repurchases follow. The price recovers to $50, $70, $90, $100.
A perfect closed loop. The name is established, and profits are collected.
Circle goes bankrupt, USDC is canceled. Then a new project called USDB is launched. If one day USDX becomes the next Luna, don't be surprised—these stablecoins are essentially policy tools, just leverage for market sentiment regulation.
By then, many will realize: the so-called innovative financial legislation is just an amplified arbitrage system, and the crypto market has become the best testing ground.
These are all speculations, but they are worth being cautious about.

A bit outrageous but I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong... Using US bonds as guns, stablecoins as cannon fodder?

Wow, this logical chain is incredible. Using US debt as collateral to play stablecoins... really daring to think about it.

Wow, this logical chain is really impressive. I never thought of it from this angle before.
That Luna incident is still fresh in my mind. Now looking at stablecoins, I always feel a bit uneasy.
If I had seen through these tricks earlier, maybe this is the essential course for navigating cycles.

Wow, this logical chain is pretty intense, it feels like saying the crypto market is just a tool for scamming retail investors.
U.S. debt collapse, stablecoins follow as casualties, and the government secretly buying the dip to profit from the spread? How dark does this scheme have to be to come up with?
But on the other hand, isn't Luna's incident a living example? They just changed the name and kept going.

That's really impressive... I have to admit I'm somewhat convinced by this logical chain. I hadn't thought about using US bonds as a policy tool, but the more I think about it, the more absurd it seems.
