Catenaa, Friday, September 12, 2025- Anton Kobyakov, a senior advisor to President Vladimir Putin, claimed the United States is orchestrating a scheme to reduce its $35 trillion national debt by manipulating cryptocurrency and gold markets.
Speaking at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, Kobyakov alleged Washington intends to “rewrite the rules” of these markets, positioning crypto and gold as alternatives to the traditional currency system amid declining trust in the dollar.
Kobyakov suggested that part of the U.S. debt could be converted into stablecoins, effectively devaluing it and “starting from scratch.”
He warned that such actions could destabilize global financial systems, given the central role of the dollar and traditional assets in international trade.
The advisor highlighted the unprecedented size of U.S. debt, which includes Treasury securities held by foreign governments, institutional investors, and domestic holders, and said Washington’s approach signals a strategic pivot toward digital and commodity-based solutions to fiscal challenges.
Kobyakov’s remarks contribute to growing global debate over how cryptocurrencies might influence national debt management, dollar dominance, and systemic financial stability.
Analysts note that while the U.S. has increased regulatory clarity on digital assets, the notion of leveraging crypto and gold to mitigate debt remains highly controversial and speculative.
U.S. allegedly plans to offload $35T debt through crypto and gold, raising global financial stability concerns, according to Putin advisor Anton Kobyakov.
