The U.S. hit an unexpected milestone in 2025—the first time in over 50 years, net migration turned negative. Fresh data shows the country lost more people to outbound migration than it gained from new arrivals. This demographic shift marks a significant turning point in American migration patterns and could have broader implications for economic growth, labor markets, and investment landscapes. Such structural changes in population dynamics often ripple through asset markets and deserve attention from those tracking macro trends.

Are Americans starting to flee? The first net outflow in 50 years, how outrageous is that?

Hmm... Is the US starting to export its population? What does this indicate—whether the economy is truly pulling people in or the cost of living is forcing them to leave...

Net population outflow for the first time in 50 years? Oh my, how bad is this? Is the US about to start shrinking? What does a decrease in the workforce mean—inflation pressure, pension burdens, declining consumer power? Can on-chain data reflect this wave of change? We need to keep an eye on the movement of US Treasury yields; this might be an opportunity to short the dollar, brothers.

Laughing out loud, the US has also started "escaping" this wave, it seems that retail investors are everywhere around the world. --- Net outflow for the first time in 50 years? Bro, isn't this a sign of an economic recession? The crypto world has been playing like this for a long time. --- People have already left, can US stocks still rise? I know this script well, just like the final pump before project teams run away. --- Major General's premonition: next, capital will start to scoop up emerging markets, another cycle of cutting the leeks is coming. --- Americans are fleeing, and we're still charging ahead? Brother, this calls for a reverse operation. --- Internal big cycle, external big escape, economists will have to revise the textbooks again.
