U.S. national debt is predicted to rise in the next decade, with 88% of scenarios showing an increase in debt as a percentage of GDP. Concerns over this unsustainable debt growth have led investors to seek safe havens like gold, Bitcoin, and real estate ETFs. Bank of America's Michael Hartnett links rising gold and Bitcoin values to debt worries. ETFs like SPDR Gold Trust, iShares Gold Trust, and Abrdn Physical Gold Shares ETF have seen significant gains. Real estate and foreign asset ETFs are also considered safe investments amid U.S. fiscal instability.
