US EditionBitcoin Gains Traction as Moody's Downgrades U.S. Credit Rating: A Shift Toward Safe-Haven Assets
- On May 16, 2025, Moody's lowered the United States' long-term credit rating from its highest level, Aaa, down to Aa1, resulting in the country losing its final top-tier rating.
- The downgrade stemmed from rising national debt exceeding $36 trillion and increasing interest costs burdening the federal budget.
- This downgrade signals ongoing fiscal challenges and has intensified awareness of U.S. Debt sustainability, prompting investors to reconsider traditional asset stability.

- The event suggests rising interest in safe-haven assets like Bitcoin and gold as alternatives amid skepticism about U.S. Monetary stability and sovereign debt risks.
