US Treasury sells $39 billion 10-year bonds, driving US 10-year bond yield from 5.365% to 5.271% on strong demand within four hours.

Pantera Capital's Dan Morehead says US debt drives investors into Bitcoin and crypto, with BTC historically rising 70% annually versus 3.4% fiat debasement at $77064.81.

US 30-year yield rebounds above 5.22% after Treasury doubles long-term bond buybacks, reversing part of the drop from 5.337% high.

US borrowing rates hit highest since June 2007 as credit card serious delinquencies reach 2010 peak and mortgage rates near 8%.

According to @KobeissiLetter, interest payments on US public debt to overseas holders reached a record $292 billion in Q3 2025, marking a significant increase as the amount has more than doubled since 2020. This highlights the escalating burden on the US Treasury, which now pays six times more to international debt holders compared to previous periods. The data underscores growing concerns about the sustainability of US debt levels and their implications for financial markets.

According to @simplykashif, Raoul Pal of Global Macro Investor states the typical 4-year Bitcoin cycle has shifted to a 5-year cycle due to changes in U.S. debt dynamics, placing BTC’s cycle peak in Q2 2026 (source: @simplykashif on X, Dec 2, 2025). According to @simplykashif, this revised timeline anchors a later potential top for cycle-based traders to map into mid-2026, with the macro driver explicitly cited as U.S. debt changes by Raoul Pal (source: @simplykashif on X, Dec 2, 2025).

According to @KobeissiLetter, gold futures extended intraday gains to more than +$100 per ounce as the US government nears a deal to reopen, source: @KobeissiLetter (Nov 10, 2025). @KobeissiLetter also stated that $40 trillion in US debt is on the way, source: @KobeissiLetter.

According to The Kobeissi Letter, the economy’s growing reliance on debt across necessities, tuition, housing, inflation management, and government coincides with consumer sentiment now below 2008 levels, pointing to mounting macro stress for risk assets and crypto liquidity (source: The Kobeissi Letter). The consumer sentiment reference aligns with the University of Michigan Surveys of Consumers, a key gauge traders track for demand and risk appetite shifts that can amplify equity and crypto volatility when readings deteriorate (source: University of Michigan Surveys of Consumers). For trading, elevated debt burdens and weak sentiment are typically read as risk-off—pressuring high-beta equities and tightening financial conditions that often weigh on BTC and ETH during periods of USD strength, widening credit spreads, and higher real yields (source: The Kobeissi Letter). Traders should closely monitor long-end Treasury yields, credit-card and auto-loan delinquency trends, and credit spreads as leading indicators of tightening liquidity transmission into crypto market funding and volatility (source: The Kobeissi Letter; source: Federal Reserve Bank of New York).
