If you’re still chasing crypto carry trades without checking Treasury yields, stop now.
A lot of traders get trapped thinking “yield is yield,” then wonder why the risk-adjusted return suddenly makes no sense. In markets like this, FOMO can cost more than just a bad entry.
The latest signal is worth paying attention to: Treasuries have out-yielded the crypto carry trade for only the second time on record. That’s rare, and it challenges the idea that parking capital in crypto strategies is always worth the added volatility.
One side says this is a warning sign for $BTC and $ETH liquidity, because capital may keep rotating toward lower-risk yield. The other side says moments like this often happen near stress points, when crypto starts looking attractive again before the crowd realizes it. I lean toward the warning side for now: if “safe” yield beats crypto carry, traders need a much stronger reason to take risk.
Is this a temporary dislocation, or a sign that crypto risk premiums are being repriced?
