U.S. debt just crossed $40 trillion. That’s the number. Devere Group CEO Nigel Green is warning that rising debt combined with higher interest costs is creating a feedback loop — one that could pressure bonds, equities, currencies, and household borrowing costs globally. The concern is simple. As the debt grows, the cost of servicing it grows too. More of the budget goes to interest payments. That can force more borrowing, which feeds the cycle. This isn’t new. Similar warnings appeared at every major debt milestone. Markets usually looked through them as long as growth and liquidity held. The question now is whether $40 trillion changes that dynamic, or if the interest burden is finally becoming large enough to matter more than before. Green’s feedback-loop point is the one worth watching. If higher debt service starts crowding out spending or tightening financial conditions, the effects don’t stay inside U.S. fiscal accounts. They move through the dollar, global bonds, and eventually risk assets — including crypto. The headline number alone doesn’t force a crisis. But at this scale, interest costs stop being background noise. How policymakers respond when those costs keep rising will matter more than the $40 trillion figure itself. $BTC $XRP #Altcoin Season# #Meme Alpha#
