Having spent two decades investing in distressed debt and emerging market sovereigns prior to establishing the digital assets division at T. Rowe Price, Blue Macellari offers a perspective on the Treasury market that commands exceptional attention. Her analysis covers the comeback of bond vigilantes, the transition from international to local funding for American debt, and the reasons why parallels with Italy and Japan fail to neatly apply to the buyer demographic of the United States. Furthermore, she evaluates if the stablecoin demand for T-bills driven by the GENIUS Act represents a genuine structural shift or mere wishful thinking.
