#数字资产动态追踪 A veteran gambler's heartfelt words: In 2026, the real killer in the crypto world won't be liquidation, but the ticking time bomb of the US national debt.



Honestly, the most frightening thing right now isn't even contract liquidations. What truly threatens life is the hot potato of US Treasury bonds accumulated by 2026. This is more deadly than any breaking news — it will directly drain global liquidity.

The numbers are right here, do your own math: one-third of US national debt matures between 2025 and 2026, with at least $4.1 trillion needing to be rolled over in 2026 alone. Converted to RMB, that's over 30 trillion yuan, more than a quarter of our entire annual GDP. And these bonds were issued during zero interest rate periods; now, with rates soaring above 4%, interest payments double directly, pushing the government's debt repayment pressure to the brink.

There are only three options on the table: raise taxes, print money, or borrow new to pay old. Choosing any of these will result in global capital being drained. The crypto market relies on active funds; once liquidity dries up, what support is there for prices?

US interest payments alone each year approach nearly one trillion dollars, and looking ahead to the next decade, this figure will soar. Conversely, the government’s ability to inject funds to stabilize the market will only become tighter. In 2020, liquidity injections fueled a crypto bull market; in 2022, rate hikes directly triggered a crash — but that was just policy adjustments. This time is different — fiscal pressure is ten times more severe than in 2022, and unavoidable hard debt that no one can change.

Based on years of real trading experience, I have three suggestions: First, stay away from high-leverage and overvalued projects; quickly reduce leverage on contract positions. Second, focus on mainstream assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum, as well as sectors with real applications like cross-border payments and decentralized storage. Third, keep sufficient cash on hand, and re-enter the market when the deep correction in 2026 occurs.

This isn't empty talk; it's real market intuition. To survive comfortably in the crypto space, relying solely on reckless bets won't cut it. Understanding the patterns and keeping pace is the only way to live and profit in 2026.

It really sounds like, I've also thought about the national debt bomb, just worried that it might really cause a huge bloodshed then.

This logic has no flaws, but the key still depends on how the Federal Reserve plays it. What if 2026 really arrives?

Listen, this guy's words really hit home. Liquidity drying up is even more painful than a liquidation... Wait, can the US debt really directly crush the entire crypto circle? Or is it just another wolf coming? I want to ask, if 2026 really arrives, will the BTC we hold be useful? Or will we all be buried with it... Lowering leverage is easy to say, but can you really let go? 30 trillion RMB... just saying this number sounds a bit surreal, feels too far from us. But on the other hand, every time the big shots say this, the coins still rise as usual. Who should I believe? 坚持存币不?感觉活钱这两年也没啥收益 The worst thing is if 2026 really brings a crash, cash will depreciate, coins will fall, and we end up empty-handed.

Exactly right, the government bond bomb is indeed more heartbreaking than any liquidation. A liquidity drought is the real meat grinder.

I've always said that the risk is here. Are there still people going all-in on futures? Wake up, brother. --- 30 trillion yuan. No one can escape when that number hits. I really don't understand why people are still speculating on shanzhai coins. --- The key is that at the moment of 2026, if liquidity dries up, everything is pointless. I have already adjusted my holdings. --- Stop it. This is the trend. Instead of worrying about price fluctuations, it's better to reduce leverage first. That's the truth. --- I'm firmly holding onto Bitcoin and Ethereum. Everything else is just for making money. --- Last year, you should have followed my advice and allocated cash. It's too late to regret now, right? --- Think about what doubling interest means. The flow of global funds will change completely. --- Entering in 2026 is the real opportunity. Every current pullback is teaching you a lesson. --- This is not alarmist talk. The laws of history are right here. Those who do their homework have already started taking action. --- If you don't have dollar reserves, it's still not too late to start preparing. Don't wait until you're truly short of money.
