最近，一则"6.6万亿美元美债6月到期，美国可能违约"的消息在中文互联网疯传。 乍一看，似乎美国经济即将迎来"审判日"，但仔细一查，这完全是个被夸大的谣言。 根据美国财政部4月报告，6月到期的美债规模约为1.45万亿美元（短债1.27万亿+中债0.18万亿）。考虑到5月新增的短债滚动，预计6月实际到期规模在2.3 万亿美元左右，远低于网传的6.6万亿。 但问题来了，辟谣"6月危机论"，不代表美债安全。相反，真正的恐怖在于：从2023年开始，美国每个月都有超过2万亿美元的美债到期，必须靠借新还旧才 能维持。 换句话说，美债危机不是"6月会不会爆"，而是"每个月都可能爆"。 就在市场还在讨论"6月美债危机会不会来"时，德意志银行（德银）已经发出更严峻的警告："这次连美联储的QE（量化宽松）都救不了市场。" 德银在最新报告中指出，当前美债危机的核心，是外国投资者（尤其是亚洲资金）不再愿意为美国的"双赤字"（财政赤字+贸易赤字）买单。 过去，美国可以靠美联储印钞或海外资本流入来维持债务循环，但现在，外资正在撤离。 为什么这次美联储束手无策？ 自2022年美联储激进加息后，美国长期国债利率飙升（目前10年期美债收益率仍 ...

Core Viewpoint - The GENIUS Act proposes a $2 trillion expansion of USD stablecoins to address the U.S. debt crisis, but raises questions about its effectiveness in solving underlying financial issues [1][2]. Summary by Sections Key Provisions of the GENIUS Act - The act mandates a 1:1 backing of stablecoins with assets such as cash, bank deposits, and short-term U.S. Treasury securities, prohibiting misuse or re-pledging of these assets [2]. - It requires frequent disclosure of reserves, with at least monthly reports and external audits [2]. - Issuers of stablecoins with a market cap exceeding $10 billion must transition to federal regulation within a specified timeframe [2]. - Custodians of stablecoins and their reserves must be regulated financial institutions [3]. - Stablecoins are explicitly defined as non-interest-bearing payment instruments, subject to banking regulations rather than securities or commodities regulations [3]. - Existing stablecoin issuers are given an 18-month grace period to comply with licensing requirements [3]. Economic Implications - The proposed $2 trillion stablecoin market could absorb 65% of the annual interest on U.S. debt, which amounts to $1.3 trillion [3]. - The act's design effectively shifts private demand for digital dollars into purchasing power for U.S. Treasuries, which may not resolve the debt crisis but rather redistribute it [3]. Structural Challenges - The act reflects policymakers' anxiety about balancing the benefits of blockchain technology with the need to maintain monetary sovereignty, particularly in limiting tech giants like Meta from issuing stablecoins [5]. - The current concentration of stablecoin trading, with USDT accounting for 82.7% of total volume, raises concerns about the flow of funds into the real economy [7]. Global Context and Future Outlook - The act's provisions may accelerate de-dollarization efforts by countries like China, as they may be reluctant to support U.S. dollar dominance under American regulation [9]. - The requirement for stablecoins to be backed by short-term Treasuries could increase their sensitivity to U.S. Treasury yield fluctuations, potentially linking them closely to U.S. debt risks [9]. - The expansion of USD stablecoins occurs alongside the rise of alternative digital currencies, such as the digital yuan and the digital euro, indicating a shift towards a multipolar currency landscape [10][11]. Conclusion - While the GENIUS Act may provide temporary relief for the U.S. debt crisis, it does not offer a long-term solution, as real economic value creation is essential for sustainable recovery [12].
