Analysis: BTC has decoupled abnormally from US Treasury yields, marking a structural shift in its role within the macroeconomy

ChainCatcher news, Cryptoquant analyst Darkfost released a market analysis stating that macroeconomics has become the dominant narrative in today's cryptocurrency market. As a result, key indicators such as the US Dollar Index (DXY) and US Treasury yields are now closely monitored by investors, reflecting the overall state of institutional sentiment and global liquidity. When DXY and bond yields rise simultaneously, capital tends to flow out of risk assets. In such an environment, Bitcoin typically experiences pullbacks. Historically, bear markets in cryptocurrencies have often coincided with strong upward trends in yields and DXY.Conversely, when DXY and yields lose momentum, investors' risk appetite shifts towards risk assets. These periods are often associated with monetary easing or market expectations of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, thereby driving bullish sentiment in the crypto market. Notably in the current cycle, there is an unusual decoupling between Bitcoin and bond yields. Despite yields reaching one of the highest levels in Bitcoin's history, Bitcoin continues to maintain an upward trend, especially accelerating when DXY declines. This anomaly suggests a structural shift in Bitcoin's role within the macroeconomic landscape, as it is increasingly viewed as a store of value. This new narrative may be redefining how Bitcoin responds to traditional macroeconomic forces.

Beijing Public Security has established a mechanism for the disposal of virtual currencies involved in cases with the Beijing Stock Exchange, selling them through compliant exchanges in Hong Kong and remitting the proceeds to the national treasury

ChainCatcher news, according to the Capital Public Security Legal System WeChat account, the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau Legal System Division and the Beijing Equity Exchange (hereinafter referred to as "BEE") have established a cooperation mechanism for the disposal of virtual currencies involved in cases, jointly signing the "Framework Agreement on Business Cooperation for the Disposal of Virtual Currencies Involved in Cases," which includes the disposal of virtual currencies involved in cases under the category of "physical submission."The article states that in response to the frequent occurrence of virtual currency crimes in recent years, and addressing the practical issue of "the inability to directly dispose of and cash out virtual currencies involved in cases within the country" as well as the risks of cross-border disposal, the Legal System Division of the Municipal Bureau and BEE have further expanded the cooperation disposal area. They have conducted thorough research and demonstration on the policies, regulations, and operational pathways for such special case-related assets, exploring a new channel for overseas disposal.That is: Public security organs will entrust the physical disposal of virtual currencies involved in cases to BEE. After accepting the entrustment from the public security organs, BEE will select professional service institutions to conduct operations such as testing, receiving, and transferring the virtual currencies involved in cases, and will publicly cash out and sell them through a compliant licensed exchange in Hong Kong. After fulfilling the national foreign exchange management approval procedures, the converted funds will be transferred to the special account for case-related funds of the public security organs and submitted to the national treasury.Currently, this model has been successfully applied to dispose of virtual currencies involved in a case handled by the Shunyi Public Security Sub-bureau.
