Discussions about utilizing Bitcoin as a potential solution to the $35 trillion national debt in the US have gained traction among economists and policymakers.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) projects global public debt to exceed $100 trillion by 2024, with the US accounting for about a third of this liability.
Experts caution that using Bitcoin to offset national debt oversimplifies complex economic realities, but a favorable stance toward cryptocurrencies could stimulate economic growth.
Real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, converting traditional assets into blockchain-based tokens, is being explored as a potential path forward that combines the benefits of traditional finance and cryptocurrency.
