Here's something worth chewing on: crypto markets are essentially a preview reel for what's coming to traditional finance. Look at the numbers—US margin-to-GDP ratio sits at 5.3% right now, sliding down from last year's 6.3%. That drop? Largely fueled by tariff inflows. But here's the kicker: we're dancing dangerously close to 7.7%, the threshold where the entire margin system starts cracking. The real question isn't whether tariff revenue can plug the gap—it's whether policymakers recognize the warning signs crypto's been flashing for months. Traditional markets always lag behind, and by the time they catch up, it's usually too late to pivot smoothly.
