On December 3, #数字货币市场洞察 , the U.S. Treasury did something big—they directly bought back $12.5 billion worth of their own bonds. The largest buyback in history.



Would you call this money printing? Officially, it’s not called QE, but in practice... the market has already voted with its feet.

The logic is simple: the Treasury uses real cash to buy back bonds, banks end up with more cash on hand, interest rates naturally go down, and liquidity starts to flow again. If you want to dress it up, it’s called a “debt restructuring,” but in essence, the fiscal side is quietly opening the floodgates.

How did the market react? Gold shot up, Bitcoin started climbing, and U.S. Treasury yields actually fell. The money is already looking for new channels.

What’s interesting is that while the Fed is still talking about tightening, the Treasury is already loosening up. The left hand and the right hand, each doing their own thing.

Here we go again: tightening with one hand and injecting liquidity with the other. The retail investors actually believe it. Just wait and see—this wave of liquidity will end up entering the crypto market sooner or later.

Oh my, buying back bonds directly with 12.5 billion? This move is a bit outrageous. Officially it's not called QE, but in practice it's exactly QE. I'm way too familiar with this tactic.

Hmm? 12.5 billion at this scale, are they really not deliberately loosening? LOL, they sure put on a good show on the surface. --- Ha, the Fed keeps talking about tightening, while the Treasury has already started handing out money. They really know how to play both sides. --- No wonder gold and Bitcoin can't sit still—market's sense of smell is sharp as ever. --- Debt structure adjustment... I'll remember this new term, next time I'll use it too. --- Banks get more cash just by lying down? Then of course rates will soften. That's always how liquidity works. --- Wait, isn't this basically covert easing? Yet they insist it's not QE? Playing word games. --- Bitcoin is on the rise, huh? I knew the money would definitely find a new place to go, this trick works every time.

Here we go again. The Fed and the Treasury are still covering for each other. What happened to the promised tightening? I'm just watching how $1.25 billion quietly flows into the crypto space.

Good morning, are the arbitrageurs at 3 a.m. awake yet... Tightening with one hand and easing with the other, this is the double-act trick of the liquidity trap. A $12.5 billion midnight snack—banks are full, so the funds naturally have to go find a sandwich to bite.
