Welcome to the US Crypto News Morning Briefing—your essential rundown of the most important developments in crypto for the day ahead.
Grab a coffee as we discuss the growing influence of stablecoin issuers in the US Treasury market. With growing institutional adoption and regulatory legitimization of US dollar-pegged stablecoins, experts warn of artificial inflation of demand for the dollar.
Crypto News of the Day: Using Government Debt Instruments To Back Digital Dollars is Risky, Keiser Warns
The influence of stablecoin issuers in the US is growing, so much that Tether, which already issues the USDT stablecoin, plans to launch a US-only stablecoin by 2025. Tether aims to position stablecoins as strategic financial tools under the Trump administration.

This chart shows Tether’s dominance in the stablecoin market, with overall supply going from $2 billion to more than $200 billion in recent years.
Meanwhile, the US Treasury projects stablecoins could reach a $2 trillion market by 2028, which could attract more players.
Nevertheless, as stablecoin influence in the Treasury market grows, the House Financial Services Committee is concerned.
Perhaps, however, the greater concern is stablecoin issuers’ using Treasury yields to buy Bitcoin. According to experts, this could undermine US government reserves.
A recent US Crypto News publication indicated reports of stablecoin issuers using Treasury yields to buy Bitcoin. Some say this could undermine initiatives like the proposed US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, which aims to bolster national holdings of the pioneer crypto.
Growing Influence of Stablecoin Issuers in US Treasuries Market is Concerning, Max Keiser Says
Among them is Bitcoin pioneer Max Keiser, who voiced concerns over the growing influence of stablecoin issuers in the US Treasury market. Keiser warns that their use of government debt instruments to back digital dollars may have broader implications for the global financial system.
As of Q1 2025, Tether reported holding nearly $120 billion in short-term US Treasury securities and reverse repos. This makes it one of the largest non-sovereign holders of American government debt.
Meanwhile, Circle, issuer of USDC, disclosed more than $22 billion in Treasury bills in a February 2025 attestation.
These holdings collateralize dollar-pegged stablecoins, helping issuers maintain liquidity and trust. The issuers benefit from the interest income generated by the bonds.
While this practice is common and legal, Keiser contends it contributes to deeper systemic issues tied to fiat currency dynamics.
“This is exactly why the stablecoin issuers are buying Bitcoin, this is called a speculative attack on the US dollar. Feeding the debt spiral with fiat stablecoins, buying treasury bills, and then investing the interest into Bitcoin, allowing the stablecoin issuers to buy billions in Bitcoin for free,” Keiser told BeInCrypto.
Stablecoin issuers purchase US debt on secondary markets and earn interest, which they may or may not deploy into digital assets like Bitcoin. Keiser is critical of the broader financial architecture underpinning stablecoins.
“Issuing new stablecoins backed by US T-bills printed out of thin air is not a monetary system, but a financial hologram,” he said.
US Treasury bills are debt instruments issued by the federal government and sold to investors, including private companies like Tether and Circle, through regulated markets. These stablecoin issuers tokenize existing fiat currency held in reserve.
Keiser elaborated on what he sees as the long-term consequences of this model.
“It’s a speculative attack by private banks. It is financial repression, pushing rates down as ‘malinvestments’ increase. It is rinse and repeat,” he explained.
His critique also extends to the broader outlook for the US dollar, which, according to the Bitcoin pioneer, “is a quick, deadly fix; a USD hospice. Cue the final death throes of the US dollar.”
BeInCrypto has contacted Circle and Tether for comment and will update this article if they respond.
Max Keiser Proposes AI To Invent Novel Security Structures
Keiser also highlighted what he views as an emerging trend. He said high-profile investors and technologists use artificial intelligence (AI) and novel corporate strategies to increase Bitcoin exposure.
The Bitcoin maxi referenced Strategy Executive Chair Michael Saylor and investor-turned-politician Vivek Ramaswamy.
“Financial engineers like Michael Saylor and Vivek Ramaswamy are using AI to invent novel security structures to maximize the Bitcoin Treasury model. Vivek Ramaswamy plans to take his company, Strive Asset Management, public by merging with Asset Entities and starting to accumulate Bitcoin using the model that Saylor’s Strategy has already successfully adopted — using proceeds from stock and debt issuance,” Keiser remarked.
Though no confirmed public filings detailing Ramaswamy’s use of AI in this context, Keiser sees these developments as significant.
“The results are redefining finance globally and adding significantly to the Bitcoin demand. OG’s like myself, who have watched Bitcoin outperform everything for 15 years, are seeing, for the first time, investment strategies that are outperforming Bitcoin, and the implications are profound,” he said
Keiser believes such strategies could push Bitcoin’s market value even higher. He also implied that the extraordinary compounding rates of the past could be extended. This sentiment comes as Bitcoin captures more of the total addressable market and scales even higher price points.
The views expressed are those of Max Keiser and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of BeInCrypto.

Here’s a summary of more US crypto news to follow today:
After Circle rejected Ripple’s $5 billion buyout offer, rumors are circulating that Ripple made another attempt. Despite the claim that it tried to offer Circle $20 billion, there is no tangible proof supporting this claim.
Commentators pointed out that Circle’s IPO was previously valued at around $5 billion, making a $20 billion offer seem totally ridiculous. It’s hard to be certain, but it appears that this rumor moved the market less than other recent false claims.
This made its refusal especially noteworthy, leading to community speculation.
Last night, rumors began to appear that Ripple’s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, had made a bold new offer to Circle. Specifically, several prominent social media accounts claimed that Garlinghouse set a new offer at $20 billion.
This rumor gained new traction as crypto industry media publications began reporting on it. Still, Garlinghouse hasn’t publicly said anything.
Users immediately began urging caution, reminding the community that nothing had been confirmed. Meanwhile, several pieces of evidence explain why Ripple’s alleged Circle offer is not credible.
For example, although Circle’s IPO hasn’t launched yet, it still gives valuable market data:
“FYI, Circle’s IPO valuation is ~$5 billion (which is the valuation Ripple is looking at when it made its acquisition offer). There is no way Ripple would offer $20 billion for Circle. I see lots of people saying $5 billion is a low offer since Circle holds $60 billion in collateral…However, it does not own that collateral,” Dom Kwok, co-founder of EasyA, stated.
It’s hard to be certain, but the rumor has apparently left a minimal market impact. False claims have recently had an outsized influence over the crypto industry; rumors of Trump pausing tariffs caused huge chaos.
Similar statements regarding XRP ETF approval and OpenAI integrating Worldcoin proved untrue. Nonetheless, they were definitely influential.
Of course, it’s still difficult to draw a clear conclusion from this. Did large numbers of people believe Ripple’s alleged Circle offer? Were retail traders suspicious of the claim?
Hopefully, the crypto community will move past this period of credulity. When markets consistently move on misinformation, it can disrupt momentum.
As Bitcoin (BTC) price attempts to follow gold price action in a bullish outlook, Ripple Labs’ XRP has signaled early signs of imminent parabolic growth in the near future. The large-cap altcoin, with a fully diluted valuation of about $224 billion and a 24-hour average trading volume of around $4.7 billion, has rebounded over 10 percent in the past two days from a crucial support level.
After being trapped in a falling trend since the second inauguration of U.S. President Donald Trump
Donald Trump Donald Trump is an American former president politician, businessman, and media personality, who served as the 45th president of the U.S. between 2017 to 2021. Trump earned a Bachelor of science in economics from the University of Pennsylvania in 1968. Trump won the 2016 presidential election as the Republican Party nominee against Democratic Party nominee Hillary Clinton while losing the popular vote. As president, Trump ordered a travel ban on citizens from several Muslim-majority countries, diverted military funding toward building a wall on the U.S.–Mexico border, and implemented a family separation policy. Trump has remained a prominent figure in the Republican Party and is considered a likely candidate for the 2024 presidential election

XRP price retested and rebounded from a crucial support level of around $1.9 in the past few days.
XRP Price Chart Insights and Prediction
By now, it is safe to say that XRP price has already finalized the first rally of the 2024/2025 crypto bull rally and is in the process of kickstarting the next leg. From an Elliott wave principle, the XRP price has completed the first wave and is now on the edge of winding up the second wave, characterized by ABC correction.
From a technical analysis standpoint, XRP price, in the daily time frame, has been forming a mega-phone structure in the past few weeks. In the past few days, XRP price has successfully rebounded from the lower border of the mega-phone structure.
With the daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) forming a bullish divergence, XRP price is well positioned to rally towards $3 in the near future.
However, a consistent close below the established support level of around $1.9 will trigger a further selloff in the subsequent weeks.
Factors Fueling Bullish Outlook
As Coinpedia has explained in the past, Ripple Labs has made deliberate efforts to build the XRPL network and enhance the mainstream adoption of XRP via the web3 ecosystem. Already, Ripple Labs has launched a fiat-backed Stablecoin on the XRPL dubbed RLUSD to enhance liquidity for XRP-based DeFi protocols.
In a bid to ensure sustainable future growth, Ripple Labs has focused on working together with regulators around the world. As the SEC vs Ripple case approaches the end under the Trump administration, the payment blockchain announced that it has secured regulatory approval from the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA).
