Сообщение ChainCatcher, согласно отчету CNBC, двое высокопоставленных чиновников Министерства финансов США сообщили, что Министерство финансов может использовать финансовый общий счет (TGA) объемом почти 1 триллион долларов для финансирования недавно объявленного расширения программы покупки государственных облигаций. Использование счета TGA даст Министерству финансов большую возможность влиять на доходность долгосрочных облигаций.На прошлой неделе Министерство финансов США неожиданно объявило, что увеличит объем выкупа долгосрочных "не индикативных облигаций" (off-the-run securities) с 2 миллиардов долларов до как минимум 4 миллиардов долларов. Министр финансов США Джанет Йеллен заявила, что объем таких операций может даже превысить этот новый минимальный уровень. Однако Министерство финансов тогда не уточнило, как будет финансироваться эта покупка.Большинство участников рынка ранее считали, что Министерство финансов будет привлекать средства, увеличивая выпуск краткосрочных государственных облигаций (казначейских векселей). Если будет использован счет TGA, мнение рынка о данном плане может измениться.TGA по сути является "чековым счетом" правительства США, открытым в Федеральной резервной системе, аналогичным резервному фонду правительства. Средства на этом счете уже поступили из существующих налоговых поступлений.

ChainCatcher Сообщение, что Министерство финансов США планирует к концу июня увеличить баланс общего счета Министерства финансов (TGA) до примерно 900 миллиардов долларов, а к концу июля до примерно 1 триллиона долларов.Анализ показывает, что пополнение TGA будет забирать ликвидность из финансовой системы, в то время как текущий баланс инструментов обратного репо (RRP) в США снизился с более чем 2,5 триллионов долларов в 2022 году до менее 100 миллиардов долларов, что в будущем может привести к большему потреблению резервов банков и оказать давление на рискованные активы, такие как биткойн.

Economist Peter Schiff posted on the X platform that mortgage structures backed by crypto assets could significantly increase home buying costs.Borrowers not only have to pay traditional mortgage interest but also bear the interest on the "second loan" secured by crypto assets. This model essentially amounts to 100% financing for the property, thereby amplifying leverage levels and potentially increasing overall default risk.

Coinbase and mortgage platform Better Home & Finance announced a partnership to launch a home loan product secured by Bitcoin or USDC, guaranteed by Fannie Mae. Borrowers do not need to sell their crypto assets; they can use them as collateral to apply for an independent loan to pay the down payment while also being approved for a standard mortgage, ultimately holding two loans with the same interest rate and repayment period, with monthly payments combined.The product complies with Fannie Mae guidelines, with interest rates significantly lower than traditional crypto-backed loans. If the price of Bitcoin drops, the collateral will not face forced liquidation due to market fluctuations, only facing liquidation risk after 60 days of overdue payments. Borrowers using USDC as collateral can offset part of the loan interest with the earnings generated from the collateral.Coinbase One members can complete transactions through Better and receive a rebate on transaction fees equivalent to 1% of the mortgage amount, capped at $10,000. The two companies stated that they plan to expand the range of eligible collateral to include tokenized stocks and fixed-income assets in the future.

The U.S. President Trump announced that he will launch a $200 billion mortgage-backed securities (MBS) purchase program to lower mortgage rates and alleviate the housing affordability crisis. This move is seen by the market as Trump directly pushing his "personal version of quantitative easing (QE)" beyond intervening in the Federal Reserve's rate-cutting process.Trump stated on Truth Social that he has "instructed relevant representatives to purchase $200 billion worth of mortgage bonds" to reduce mortgage rates and monthly payment costs, enhance home-buying ability, and blame the current housing crisis on the Biden administration.Bill Pulte, director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, confirmed to the Financial Times that the plan will be executed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and it does not require congressional approval. Under existing agreements, the two agencies still have a combined operational space of about $200 billion in mortgage loan investments.Analysts pointed out that this initiative is highly similar in form to the Federal Reserve's policy of purchasing MBS to stabilize the market after the 2008 financial crisis. Despite the Federal Reserve having cut rates by a cumulative 75 basis points, the current 30-year fixed mortgage rate in the U.S. remains as high as 6.16%, with housing cost pressures continuing to be a political and economic focus. Against the backdrop of high inflation and rising living costs, Trump's move is seen as an attempt to directly intervene in the housing and financial markets through executive power to boost voter confidence.
