Foreign holdings of US Treasuries = the lowest level in 19 years
Market participants are beginning to recognize that the true risk this time around lies not in the failure to reach a debt ceiling agreement, but rather in the escalating and concerning nature of the debt problem #debt #bubble
The issue is exacerbated due to a decline in the number of buyers of US Treasury securities: in the last three years, the responsibility of absorbing this debt fell on the Fed and US banks, but now both entities have withdrawn from that role
The current lack of demand is indeed a growing problem that may ultimately necessitate the intervention of the Fed as the buyer of last resort #qe

the real threat to the US dollar doesn't come from the new BRICS currencies, but from digital dollar-backed stablecoins and other tokenized cryptocurrencies. Crypto "dollars" won't collapse the global financial system, but they could disrupt the cozy greenback-based settlement system. A separate threat comes from Hong Kong-based cryptocurrency companies and exchanges with direct ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which has long sought to overthrow the US dollar.
#debt weakening of the dollar's dominance in global trade and finance will lead to an increase in the cost of funding the extensive US debt.
