US Treasury Buybacks Spark Bitcoin Surge to Three-Month High
Bitcoin (BTC) has rallied over 20% and reached its highest level since mid-May, trading above $77,000 on Friday.
The US Treasury's decision to double its debt buyback operations boosted risk appetite, leading to a short squeeze across the crypto market.
Total cryptocurrency market capitalization has added $210 billion in market cap so far this week, reaching $2.45 trillion on Friday.
Bitunix Analyst Dean Chen noted that while the Treasury's decision eased long-term yields and financial conditions, it is not a confirmation of a new bull market.
