Bitcoin Surges Above $79,000 on US Treasury Bond Buybacks and Regulatory Optimism
Bitcoin surged past $70,000, reaching highs above $79,000 amid a broad crypto rally driven by the US Treasury's decision to double long-term bond buybacks, which lowered yields and weakened the dollar. This move boosted risk appetite, triggering a significant short squeeze and increased institutional inflows. Regulatory optimism, including a meeting between President Trump and crypto leaders, also supported the rally. Analysts caution that despite strong momentum, volatility and potential consolidation remain likely as the market adjusts.
