There are talks among US politicians and economists about the country defaulting on its national debt. Congress usually approves raising the debt ceiling, so I don't see what's the issue here. But if somehow the US defaults, how would the crypto market react? Positively or negatively? The USD is the reserve currency of the world, so it's likely everything (stocks, crypto, etc) will crash alongside it.
What do you think? Is a US default good or bad for crypto in the short term? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I doubt US will be defaulting in it's debt. But for discussion if I consider that will default on their debt, it will be an excellent thing for crypto market. Billions of dollars will be infused into the crypto market from various institutional investors to park their additional funds. Similarly Gold and other precious metals will also see a huge demand.
Corporates are sitting on cash piles so they will need to find an alternative solution to park their funds for short to medium term is US government starts defaulting. But this will not be great situation for the rest of the world. The world economy may go into a deep recession which will take longer to recover.
