Why Bitcoin Is Surging 21% After the Treasury’s Bond Market Intervention
Bitcoin surged over 20% following U.S. Treasury intervention to lower long-dated bond yields. Custodia Bank founder Caitlin Long attributed the rally to potential yield curve control, noting it's dollar-negative, benefiting risk assets like Bitcoin. Bitcoin traded beyond $70,000 and later surpassed $75,000. Long suggested Bitcoin's rally reflects multiple favorable narratives, including its role as digital gold and inflation hedge.
