The latest US Treasury Department 3-month bill auction wrapped up with some noteworthy metrics. The high yield came in at 3.540%, reflecting ongoing demand dynamics in the short-term debt market. Bid-to-cover ratio hit 2.84, indicating solid investor appetite despite current rate conditions.
The auction saw $86 billion in total sales, with 77.13% of submitted bids successfully filled at the high price point. These figures paint a picture of a moderately strong auction cycle—competitive but not exceptionally tight.
For crypto traders and macro-focused investors, Treasury yields remain a key barometer. When US short-duration rates stay elevated, risk assets often face headwinds as capital flows toward safer, higher-yielding instruments. The 3.54% level continues to influence broader market sentiment and asset allocation strategies across digital finance.

3.54% That interest rate is still there... Funds have probably all moved to US bonds, no wonder the crypto market has been a bit cold lately.

3.54% has increased again, now funds are more concentrated in government bonds... The crypto circle will be drained again.

ngl the 2.84 bid-to-cover is screaming "capital rotation incoming" if you're actually watching the memetic velocity on this... but most traders still sleeping on the treasury-crypto correlation play

3.54% is still there, funds are flowing back into US bonds, and we still have to continue bearing the pressure on our side.
