According to a recent analysis by Lombard Odier, the so-called “Big and Beautiful” U.S. fiscal bill may do little to support macroeconomic growth, while significantly deteriorating the country's fiscal position.Key Points:$4 Trillion Deficit Expansion Expected: Strategic analyst Filippo Pallotti warns the bill could increase the U.S. federal deficit by approximately $4 trillion over the next decade. If tax cuts included in the bill are made permanent, the fiscal shortfall could grow even larger.Limited Stimulus Impact: The agency finds little reason for optimism, stating that most of the tax cuts are unlikely to meaningfully boost consumer spending or drive economic growth.Debt-to-GDP Rising: Despite projected increases in tariff revenues, the U.S. public debt-to-GDP ratio is still expected to reach around 119% by 2034.Cuts to Safety Nets: The most significant spending reductions are set to affect Medicare and food assistance programs, potentially increasing pressure on low-income households.Lombard Odier concludes that while the bill is branded as a bold fiscal move, it poses substantial long-term risks to U.S. fiscal stability with limited short-term macroeconomic benefits. #LombardOdier #USFiscalBill #EconomicGrowth #FederalDeficit #TaxCuts #DebtToGDP #SafetyNets #Medicare #FoodAssistance #FiscalStability

🚀 Raoul Pal Discusses Global Debt and Cryptocurrency Cycles at Solana Breakpoint
#RaoulPal #GlobalDebt #Cryptocurrency #SolanaBreakpoint #LaborForceParticipation #DebtToGDP #CurrencyDevaluation #FederalReserve #LiquidityInjection #BitcoinHalving #CryptoCycle #DebtMaturityCycle #AltcoinBitcoinCrossRate #MacroInvesting #SOL #BTC
According to BlockBeats, Raoul Pal, former Goldman Sachs executive and co-founder of Real Vision, addressed the Solana Breakpoint conference, highlighting concerns about global debt and its implications for the economy. Pal noted that declining labor force participation indicates a shrinking workforce, which is a critical factor driving debt. He emphasized that as population growth continues to decline, the debt-to-GDP ratio will keep rising, posing significant challenges.
Pal suggested that currency devaluation has historically been a method to address or delay the global debt issue. He pointed out that the Federal Reserve might need to reconsider its balance sheet and explore ways to 'monetize' the debt. Over the next 12 months, he anticipates the need to inject liquidity by printing approximately $8 trillion.
Addressing the cryptocurrency market, Pal argued that the current cycle is not driven by Bitcoin halving but by the debt maturity cycle. He proposed that the cycle is not a traditional four-year one but extends to 5.4 years. According to Pal, the market has passed its low point and is entering an upward phase, with the cycle expected to peak at the end of 2026 rather than 2025. This insight, he stated, is crucial for global macro investors to understand cryptocurrency as a macro asset.
Pal also mentioned that the altcoin/Bitcoin cross rate is influenced by the business cycle, which appears to be bottoming out rather than peaking.#RaoulPal #GlobalDebt #Cryptocurrency #SolanaBreakpoint #LaborForceParticipation #DebtToGDP #CurrencyDevaluation #FederalReserve #LiquidityInjection #BitcoinHalving #CryptoCycle #DebtMaturityCycle #AltcoinBitcoinCrossRate #MacroInvesting #SOL #BTC

🚀 Metaplanet's Strategic Advantage Amid Yen Weakness
#Metaplanet #BitcoinTreasury #YenWeakness #BTCAppreciation #AdamLivingston #CryptoTreasury #Bitcoin #FiatCurrency #DebtToGDP #JapaneseYen #CryptoMarketDownturn #BitcoinReserves #BTCAccumulation #CryptoTreasuryCompanies
According to Cointelegraph, Metaplanet, a Bitcoin treasury company, may have a financial advantage over other digital asset treasury firms due to the structural weakness of the Japanese yen. BTC analyst and crypto treasury investor Adam Livingston highlighted Japan's debt-to-gross-domestic-product ratio, which stands at approximately 250%. This significant debt level necessitates the printing of yen to cover deficits annually, further weakening the currency and increasing the debt burden.
Livingston noted that Bitcoin has appreciated by about 1,159% in US dollar terms since 2020. However, when measured against the Japanese yen, BTC's appreciation over the same period is 1,704%. This disparity underscores the yen's depreciation relative to Bitcoin and the US dollar. For Metaplanet, this means its liabilities are in a fiat currency weaker than the dollar, providing cheaper access to financing per unit of fiat currency spent. Livingston explained that every coupon Metaplanet pays is in a currency losing value relative to both BTC and USD, reducing the real, BTC-denominated cost of its 4.9% coupon. In contrast, Strategy, another treasury company, pays its 10% coupon in dollars, a stronger currency, resulting in slower liability erosion.
This analysis emerges amid a broad downturn in crypto treasury companies, with some losing over 90% of their value from peak levels as the crypto market struggles to regain momentum following a historic crash in October. Despite these challenges, Metaplanet has become the fourth-largest Bitcoin treasury company, holding 35,102 BTC in its reserves. This ranking is based on data from BitcoinTreasuries. The company's most recent acquisition occurred on Tuesday, involving the purchase of 4,279 BTC for approximately $451 million. However, despite its substantial BTC accumulation, Metaplanet's stock price has declined alongside the broader crypto treasury sector, including companies like Strategy, BitMine, and Nakamoto.#Metaplanet #BitcoinTreasury #YenWeakness #BTCAppreciation #AdamLivingston #CryptoTreasury #Bitcoin #FiatCurrency #DebtToGDP #JapaneseYen #CryptoMarketDownturn #BitcoinReserves #BTCAccumulation #CryptoTreasuryCompanies
