How will funds pan out if the USD looses global backing status?

Leveraged ETFs underperform because of the high debt payments required. If these loans are denominated in dollars (likely), these loans will not be affected because the contracts are already signed. But future funding would become more expensive to service if they must denominate their debt in currency that appreciates relative to the dollar.
