「BTC OG Insider Whale」 Agent: Stock Tokenization Will Drive Stablecoin Demand to Alleviate US Debt Pressure, Ethereum and Other Public Blockchains to Become Global Capital Market Settlement Layer

2026.01.24 17:23:20

On January 24, "BTC OG Insider Whale" agent Garrett Jin posted on social media, noting: "Against the backdrop of de-dollarization, extending the debt cycle to help the U.S. address its debt issues seems impractical. Tokenizing U.S. equities to drive stablecoin demand is the primary viable path left for the U.S. to refinance its ballooning debt. BlackRock’s push to bring Real World Assets (RWA) on-chain illustrates this." U.S. debt continues to mount, with proposals to pressure foreign investors to roll over short-term bonds into long-term ones—delaying principal repayments to ease the burden of its roughly $36 trillion federal debt. De-dollarization was initially spurred by the Ukraine War, while developments in Venezuela and Greenland have accelerated this trend. If the U.S. aims to refinance via additional debt issuance, the only realistic path is to expand stablecoin issuance—potentially bypassing foreign regulations to attract new global capital to U.S. Treasuries. To scale this goal, the solution lies in RWA: bringing U.S. equities on-chain as on-chain assets. Tokenizing the roughly $68 trillion in U.S. equities will significantly boost stablecoin demand, indirectly lightening the debt burden. This also explains why BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, is deeply involved in advancing RWA and on-chain equity trading: these moves not only make economic sense but may also serve strategic and political ends. Within this framework, public blockchains like Ethereum are emerging as settlement layers for global capital markets—not out of ideology, but due to the real needs of balance sheets and geopolitics.

Goldman Sachs has pushed back its forecast for the Federal Reserve's interest rate hike from October to December.

Goldman Sachs said Wednesday’s U.S. inflation data, paired with New York Fed President John Williams’ comments yesterday, has led the firm to now view an October Federal Reserve interest rate hike as unlikely. Economists Jan Hatzius, David Mericle, and Alec Phillips noted in a research report that, based on the latest inflation data, they project fourth-quarter core PCE year-over-year growth will reach 3.0%, well below the 3.4% median forecast from FOMC participants. The bank has thus pushed back its expectation for a second rate hike to December, and believes the FOMC has a high likelihood of ultimately determining no further rate increases are needed.

Developer of meme coin SI sold off 32% of the token’s supply, missing out on $15 million in potential profits.

Bubblemaps stated in a post that meme coin Super Inu (SI) was launched around the time former US President Donald Trump pushed to rebrand artificial intelligence as "Super Intelligence", and the token rallied rapidly after Trump publicly used the "SI" shorthand. On-chain data reveals wallet 9pkJqJ created SI, minting 20% of its total supply for itself, then acquired an additional 12% via eight other wallets, bringing its total holdings to 32% of the token’s supply.

The developer repurchased SI after selling prematurely, but by that point the token’s price had already surged.

US SEC plans to relax private investment thresholds, pushing retail investors to enter the private market.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Wednesday unveiled a series of reform proposals aimed at expanding individual investors’ access to private markets, enabling more retail investors to gain exposure to private equity, early-stage startups and other alternative assets. One proposal would allow registered investment advisors to charge performance fees of up to 20% based on fund performance, aligning the fee structure closer to the “2% management fee + 20% performance fee” model used by some hedge funds, in a bid to attract more private fund managers to serve individual investors. SEC Chair Paul Atkins stated that the commission aims to explore ways to expand individual investors’ participation in private markets while preventing fraud and misconduct. The SEC also proposed expanding the definition of an “accredited investor” to qualify more individuals with professional credentials, including certified public accountants (CPAs) and Chartered Financial Analysts (CFAs), as eligible investors.
