U.S. Treasury to buy back up to $6 billion in Treasuries as yields jump on $40 trillion debt

The U.S. Treasury will buy back up to $6 billion of outstanding nominal Treasuries with 10 to 20 years remaining maturity to boost liquidity in the long-term bond market. The amount is triple the usual per-operation cap, but Treasury yields continued to rise after the announcement. Investors pointed to federal debt above $40 trillion, increased supply and inflation worries, while some criticised the move as risking expectations of larger intervention.

U.S. Treasury debt buyback nears $14.5 billion, raising hopes of second rally in bitcoin and XRP

The U.S. Treasury began full execution of a government debt buyback program on Sept. 7, lifting expectations for near-term liquidity tied to bitcoin and XRP. The weekly cap is $14.5 billion, and the maximum per Treasury session could reach $16.5 billion. Attention is on Sept. 9, when long-dated buyback limits are set to double. Traders are watching whether the cash supplied through buybacks fuels risk appetite and lifts crypto prices.

Stablecoins cannot fill U.S. long-term Treasury demand gap despite $73.3 billion

Rising demand for stablecoins can help the U.S. government finance short-term Treasury bills but cannot address weak demand for long-term debt, with maturity the key constraint. U.S. stablecoin reserve rules tie funds to assets with maturities of 93 days or less, excluding newly issued 10-year and 30-year Treasuries. The Treasury has separately expanded long-term debt buybacks to support market liquidity, while evidence of a direct link to stablecoin reserves or bitcoin prices has not been confirmed.
