US National Debt Tops $40T: VP Vance Ditches Crypto for Economic Growth

The US national debt has surpassed $40 trillion, and Vice President JD Vance has weighed in on potential solutions. In a recent statement, Vance suggested that economic growth and foreign investment could help alleviate the country's financial burden.

Vance also pointed to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's plan as a viable option for reducing the debt. Interestingly, Vance seemed to dismiss Bitcoin (no mention of its price) and XRP ($1.51) as direct ways to address the issue, although these cryptocurrencies may still be part of President Donald Trump's broader crypto plans.
