History

Historical Context

The U.S. Treasury's issuance of $1.4 trillion in debt during the 2008 financial crisis aimed to stabilize the economy, resulting in significant market impacts. By 2011, the debt ceiling crisis led to the first-ever downgrade of the U.S. credit rating, reflecting ongoing concerns about rising federal debt, which has continued to influence financial markets and asset valuations, including cryptocurrencies.
