Treasury Yields Surge, Sparking Yield-Curve Control Debate and Potential Impact on Bitcoin

US Treasury yields rose to 4.74% on August 21, putting pressure on federal finances and global markets.

The increase has sparked discussion about whether the Federal Reserve may consider yield-curve control, a tool that allows central banks to target specific government-bond yields.

Treasury buybacks were announced to help improve trading in older bonds with less market activity. However, these buybacks are not quantitative easing or yield-control measures, as they do not create new bank reserves.
