๐ฅ $1.21 TRILLION IN MARGIN DEBT โ A Warning Sign Just Lit Up
U.S. margin debt just hit a historic high โ surpassing even Dot-Com Bubble levels.
๐ THE NUMBERS ARE STAGGERING:
ยท Total: $1.21 TRILLION
ยท Monthly Increase (Nov): +$30 Billion

โ ๏ธ WHAT THIS MEANS:
This isn't just stock market enthusiasm.

When stocks fall, liquidations cascade โ and crypto rarely stays insulated.
๐ก๏ธ WHY CRYPTO INVESTORS SHOULD WATCH:
1. Risk-On Sentiment Overheated โ FOMO is visible in traditional finance.
2. Spillover Risk โ A market-wide deleveraging hits all risk assets.
3. Bitcoin as a Hedge? โ Many are allocating to BTC as a non-margined store of value outside the broker-loan system.
๐ก KEY TAKEAWAY:
Leverage fuels rallies but magnifies crashes.
In a world of record margin debt, portfolio resilience matters more than ever.
