Bitcoin May Ignore Wall Street Stress Test Amid Soaring Yields
The upcoming Treasury auctions are expected to total $125 billion from August 11 through 13. These events will test the bond demand and their impact on Bitcoin's price. The auctions include $58 billion of 3-year notes, $42 billion of 10-year notes, and $25 billion of 30-year bonds.
The Treasury refunding plan does not represent a $125 billion liquidity drain as about $96.3 billion will refinance privately held debt maturing on August 15, leaving approximately $28.7 billion of new cash to raise from investors.
Historically, research has shown that Bitcoin is disconnected from monetary and macro news. Therefore, the Treasury auctions should be seen as a test of conditions rather than an automatic sell signal for Bitcoin.
