Welcome to TVL.
U.S. RATES ARE MOVING HIGHER - ACROSS THE CURVE
From 1-year Treasuries to 30-year bonds, yields are rising together.
That raises the cost of money across the system: government borrowing, corporate refinancing, mortgages and the discount rate applied to risk assets.
THE SIGNAL
Bitcoin continues to show resilience with market structure improving and momentum building.
The key test is whether BTC can sustain its advance. If momentum fades, initial support sits near $85,000, followed by the $81,000–$83,000 zone.
1/7
Global liquidity is not simply returning.
The Fed, ECB and BoJ are changing the mechanism.
The constraint remains: funding is not becoming structurally cheap.

6/7
The headline can mislead.
A rate cut, an end to QT or ample reserves do not automatically restore cheap global liquidity.
The transmission mechanism matters more than one announcement.
7/7
What to watch:
• Dollar funding
• Credit conditions
• Yen volatility
Watch the transmission, not one policy decision in isolation.

3/7
The ECB.
Rates and balance-sheet runoff affect more than one channel:
bank lending,
market funding,
risk appetite,
and the cost of capital.
The transmission is broader than the headline rate.
4/7
The BoJ.
Japan has long been a key source of low-cost global funding.
As policy normalises, the yen funding anchor can shift - and that can reshape global portfolio flows.
