U.S. consumer credit card debt just smashed through a new ceiling—hitting $1.23 trillion in Q3 2025. That's a staggering jump of roughly $450 billion since 2021.
The numbers paint a clear picture: American households are leaning harder on revolving credit than ever before. Whether it's inflation fatigue, lifestyle creep, or simply tighter cash flow, the trend is unmistakable. This kind of debt accumulation often signals broader economic pressure points that ripple across all asset classes—including digital assets.

1.23 trillion? LOL, Americans are really something else, they just keep pushing the limits.
A $45 billion increase is almost equal to the GDP of some countries. I really can’t understand this level of economics.
It’s time to buy the dip in the crypto market, the era of massive liquidity is coming.
