Debt servicing costs just hit an unprecedented milestone. Monthly interest payments clocked in at $91 billion—a figure that rewrites the record books. Even more striking? That's a 27% jump compared to the same period last year.
Think about that for a second. We're not talking about a marginal uptick. This is a substantial acceleration in borrowing costs, reflecting either higher rates, expanded debt loads, or both. For anyone tracking macro conditions—whether you're in traditional markets or watching how this ripples into risk assets like crypto—these numbers matter.
Rising debt interest often signals tightening liquidity and increased fiscal pressure. It's the kind of backdrop that historically influences everything from monetary policy shifts to capital flight into alternative stores of value. Worth keeping on your radar.

9.1 billion? Up 27% in a year? Isn't this basically paving the way for a recession?

9.1 billion in interest expenses... Oh my, that number is terrifying. A 27% increase is no joke, it really feels like something bad is about to happen.

Oh no, interest payments have hit a new high again. Now the pressure on traditional finance is really mounting.

9.1 billion in one month, this growth rate is insane. No wonder the crypto space has been so restless lately.
