- The rally is attributed to the US Treasury's decision to double the maximum size of long-term bond buybacks, injecting liquidity and stabilizing bond yields.
- Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent signaled readiness to use additional measures to address rising bond yields, which has boosted investor confidence in bitcoin.
- A White House meeting with President Trump and digital asset leaders from Coinbase and Robinhood further improved market sentiment, with Trump advocating for the Clarity Act to regulate crypto.
