Bitcoin Surges Past $80K as US Treasury Doubles Bond Buybacks

The price of Bitcoin has surged past $80,000 following the US Treasury's decision to double its long-end debt buybacks. According to Gordon Grant, head of derivatives at Bitwise, this move is linked to volatility in the US Treasury bond market. The Treasury's efforts aim to stabilize a strained bond market where 30-year yields hit a 19-year high.

The instability in bonds has driven investors towards Bitcoin, which rebounded strongly after a significant drop from its October peak. While some see the Treasury's intervention as helpful, others believe it may have unsettled markets further.

Ongoing volatility in bonds is fueling fresh interest and inflows into Bitcoin and other crypto assets.
