When government bonds start paying the highest risk-free returns in years, crypto liquidity quietly walks out the backdoor without anyone noticing until prices tank.
Most traders get trapped buying green candles during high greed phases, only to watch their portfolios bleed as capital rotates back into traditional yields. It feels like the market is dumping for no reason, but the macro plumbing tells a completely different story.
The 10-year Treasury yield is essentially the benchmark for the price of money globally. When that yield spikes, institutional desks have zero incentive to take leverage on high-beta assets like $DOT or ecosystem tokens like $STX when they can lock in guaranteed yield in TradFi. That directly drains the liquidity pools we rely on to absorb regular market selloffs.
With market sentiment sitting firmly in greed territory, retail tends to ignore macro tightening until it is too late. If borrowing costs stay elevated, funds holding assets pegged to $USDT naturally de-risk into cash equivalents, thinning out order books across major pairs before a major breakdown candle even prints.
Are you adjusting your spot positions for higher yields, or just riding through the macro noise?
