Speaking at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, Anton Kobyakov, a senior advisor to Russian President Vladimir Putin, has claimed that the United States is preparing to use cryptocurrency to wipe out its national debt. With the current debt at a staggering $35 trillion, Kobyakov says the U.S. is strategically reshaping global gold and crypto markets to engineer a major financial reset.
According to Kobyakov, the U.S. plans to convert a portion of its debt into digital assets like stablecoins and then intentionally devalue them. This would allow the U.S. to effectively shift its financial burden onto the global economy. He warned that this move would not only erode trust in the U.S. dollar but also force the rest of the world into what he called the "crypto cloud," where Washington could reset its financial obligations at the expense of other nations.
Kobyakov drew parallels between this potential strategy and two significant events in U.S. financial history: the U.S. leaving the gold standard in the 1930s and President Nixon's decision in the 1970s to completely detach the dollar from gold. He argues that, just as in the past, the U.S. is once again planning to solve its financial problems at the world's expense, this time using cryptocurrency.
This warning from a high-ranking Russian official highlights the growing intersection of geopolitics, national debt, and digital assets. If the U.S. were to implement such a strategy, Kobyakov suggests it could be the most significant financial reset in a century, forcing the world into a new economic system dominated by U.S.-controlled crypto infrastructure.
