Jack Mallers Says U.S. Debt Levels Make Fed Rate Debate Irrelevant

Strike founder and CEO Jack Mallers said U.S. debt has risen above 120% of GDP, making the debate over whether the Federal Reserve should raise or cut rates irrelevant because both paths ultimately lead to inflation. According to ChainCatcher, Mallers urged investors to study Japan, where he said authorities have relied on yield curve control and central planning intervention to maintain monetary stability, and argued the U.S. is moving in the same direction. Mallers said Bitcoin is the asset most sensitive to fiat liquidity and could be the fastest-moving asset in such an environment. He also discussed Strike's shift toward Bitcoin-backed lending and the importance of building a full Bitcoin financial stack under a one-stop architecture.
