Recently, Bloomberg sparked a debate—can stablecoins really help the US government pay off its debt? This has caused quite a stir on Wall Street.

The discussion started after the US passed legislation related to stablecoins. People in the crypto community were ecstatic, believing this could further solidify the dollar’s dominance and even boost short-term Treasury sales. But the more cautious voices poured cold water on the idea: Are you overthinking it? The stablecoin market is, at most, in the tens of billions, maybe a hundred billion dollars at best—how much impact can that really have on a debt pile of tens of trillions?

Basically, there are two camps at odds: the optimists see this as a milestone for Web3 financial infrastructure, while the pessimists think it’s just wishful policy thinking. This wave of debate is pretty interesting; for now, the market is still watching to see if stablecoins can really pull off something new.

nah this governance theatre is peak delusion. stablecoins don't disrupt debt dynamics—they're just another compliance layer masquerading as innovation. the real vulnerability lies in who controls the fork, not the illusion of scale.

Here we go again, paying off debt with stablecoins? Wake up, everyone. Here we go again, paying off debt with stablecoins? Wake up, everyone. Hundreds of billions of dollars against tens of trillions in debt—it's just a drop in the bucket. Do you really think passing a bill can change the financial landscape? People in crypto are way too optimistic. But to be fair, at least the direction is right.

$100 billion? Buddy, your estimate is a bit conservative. Have you checked the on-chain data? The liquidity premium has a lot more room; the real arbitrage opportunities are still ahead. Just wait for me to build my position.

Hundreds of billions versus tens of trillions, this math problem just can't be solved. Repay the debt? Wake up, man.

A scale of hundreds of billions is just a drop in the bucket compared to tens of trillions in debt. The crypto community is just hyping itself up again.
