Crypto markets surged as Bitcoin jumped 10.3% to $72,090, Ethereum rose 17.8% to $2,291 and XRP climbed 20.4% to $1.25, lifting total crypto market cap about 13% or roughly $291 billion. The rally followed the US Treasury’s move to double long-term bond buybacks which briefly crashed yields and made risk assets more attractive, creating a split with the S&P 500 down 1.83% and erasing $1.4 trillion, a market impact with implications for crypto adoption and risk flows.

Crypto is surging while stocks fall. Bitcoin jumped 10.3% to $72,090, Ethereum soared 17.8% to $2,291, and XRP climbed 20.4% to $1.25. Total crypto market cap rose 13%, adding $291 billion, even as the S&P 500 dropped 1.83%, erasing $1.4 trillion. This unusual split comes after the Treasury announced it would double long-term bond buybacks, briefly crashing yields before they partly rebounded. Falling yields make riskier assets like crypto more attractive, fueling the rally even as traditional markets struggled with the same news.
