0–12 months (2025–2026)

- gold + BTC keep grinding higher (capital fleeing debt + USD fragility)

- SEC + CFTC finalize US spot crypto venues (policy shift to keep liquidity onshore)

- stablecoin supply ramps > $1T (treasury needs deficit financing rails)

24–36 months (2027–2028)

- US fiscal stress visible (treasury supply > natural demand)

stablecoin float ~3T (policy mandate for “turbo liquidity”)

- confidence cracks in stables (liability mismatch + opacity = systemic doubt)

- last pump in stables + rails (exit wave for elites before rug)

- bearer assets break correlation (gold + btc seen as lifeboats)

36–48 months (2028–2029)

- stables rug in slow motion (convertibility stress + stealth default)
