According to the chief digital assets analyst at Standard Chartered, Geoff Kendrick, Bitcoin could reach US$100k by year-end after the U.S. Treasury doubled some long-term bond buybacks, calling the move exactly the kind of thing the BTC market loves. The U.S. Treasury doubled the maximum cap for long-term Treasury bond repurchases, from US$2,000 million to US$4,000 million per operation, between September and November.

By buying these bonds, the Treasury pushes yields lower and injects liquidity into the financial system. According to Kendrick, fixed-supply assets like Bitcoin tend to strongly benefit from state interventions that improve market liquidity.
