Former U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, who played a key role in steering the country through the 2008 financial crisis, has issued a stark warning about the future of the U.S. bond market.
Paulson cautioned that the Treasury market could face a “vicious crash,” emphasizing that any downturn could be both severe and prolonged. His remarks have drawn attention from both Wall Street and retail investors, given the central role U.S. government bonds play in the global financial system.
The U.S. Treasury market is widely regarded as the foundation of global finance, often referred to as the world’s safest asset due to its backing by the U.S. government. The 10-year Treasury yield serves as a key global benchmark, influencing mortgage rates, corporate borrowing costs, sovereign debt pricing, and broader financial conditions.
Paulson warned that rising pressure in the Treasury market could trigger ripple effects across multiple asset classes, including equities, commodities, and real estate. He also highlighted concerns over the rapidly expanding U.S. national debt, which is approaching $39 trillion, and the increasing strain it places on the market’s ability to absorb new issuance.
The U.S. government finances its budget deficit by issuing Treasury securities, relying heavily on continuous demand from investors. Paulson noted that if demand weakens significantly, the Federal Reserve could be forced to step in as a major buyer — a scenario he described as potentially “dangerous,” given the risk of rapidly rising prices and interest rates.
He further stressed the need for an “emergency break-the-glass plan” to be prepared in advance to manage potential instability if the market reaches a breaking point.
Overall, his warning underscores growing concerns about the long-term sustainability of U.S. debt dynamics and the potential systemic risks embedded in the global bond market.

Activity in Bitcoin (BTC) Controlled by the US Government: Moved to Coinbase! “Not for Sale!”


According to Onchain data, the US government transferred $606,000 worth of Bitcoin ($BTC) linked to the 2016 Bitfinex hack to Coinbase.

This $BTC transfer follows previous cryptocurrency transfers made by the US government in March and April. According to Arkham data, this transfer was made from wallets under federal government control.

While it’s generally assumed that Bitcoins transferred to exchanges are for sale, it’s stated that this particular $BTC transfer was not for sale purposes.

Because in early 2025, federal proceedings have confirmed that the Bitcoins seized in connection with the Bitfinex hack will be returned to Bitfinex in full.

This requires the US government to return the seized Bitcoins to Bitfinex in full.

Bitfinex has decided what to do with these Bitcoins. The exchange states that a portion of these funds will be used to fully repurchase all outstanding Recovery Right Tokens (RRT) altcoins.

It is also stated that at least 80% of the remaining net proceeds will be used to repurchase and burn UNUS, SED, and LEO tokens.

What is the Bitfinex Hack Incident?

The Bitfinex hack, which occurred on August 2, 2016, was one of the biggest shocks to the cryptocurrency sector.

Hacker Ilya Lichtenstein exploited a vulnerability in Bitfinex’s multi-signature wallet system and stole over 119,000 Bitcoin, worth approximately $72 million at the time.

Based on today’s prices, which are approximately $74,000 per Bitcoin, the stolen Bitcoins would be worth around $8.9 billio

UBS Expects 50 bps Fed Rate Cuts as Gov Miran Downplays Inflation Risks
UBS predicts 50 bps Fed rate cuts later this year.

Fed's Stephen Miran and Trump-nominated Fed Chair Kevin Warsh could push for more rate cuts.

Stocks, Bitcoin and crypto market would rally amid positive macro tailwinds.
Wall Street banking giant UBS forecasts further Fed rate cuts later this year. This comes as Fed Governor Stephen Miran claims the US-Iran war and tariffs will not have long-term impacts on inflation, but expects three rate cuts instead of four in 2026.
Bitcoin and gold will rise further if the Federal Reserve proceeds with more rate cuts this year. The broader crypto market will follow, with the S&P 500 hitting new highs.
The U.S. Federal Reserve would deliver 50 bps rate cuts later this year, UBS reported in the latest insights. Economists at the bank, including those in Global Wealth Management, project two 25 bps reductions potentially in September and December.

This would bring the federal funds rate to roughly 3.00-3.25% by 2026-end. The CME FedWatch Tool shows traders currently expect no rate cuts by the Federal Reserve this year.

This forecast assumes Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s downplaying of monetary policy tightening and inflation remaining under control despite rising oil prices. US CPI and PPI inflation data showed readings coming in line or under with Wall Street estimates.

UBS expects Treasury yields to fall toward its year-end targets of 3.25% and 3.75% for 2-year and 10-year Treasuries, respectively.
If oil supply from the Strait of Hormuz starts to normalize, the bank giant sees treasury yields falling as investors scale back their expectations for rate hikes. However, if the disruption continues for a prolonged period, Fed rate cuts should drive yields lower.

Analyst Issues Bullish Warning for Bitcoin (BTC)! “Expect This Level Within One or Two Months!”
The leading cryptocurrency, Bitcoin ($BTC), is trading around $74,600 after a strong week.

Analysts say the rally has stalled ahead of the expiration of the two-week ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran next week.

However, one analyst predicts that Bitcoin could rise to $125,000 in the coming months.

Speaking to Coindesk, ZeroStack CEO Daniel Reis-Faria stated that perpetual interest rates on Bitcoin are extremely negative, which could trigger a significant price increase.

Noting that Bitcoin’s perpetual term funding rates are quite negative, the analyst said, “this indicates that investors are heavily shorting, expecting a decline.”

According to the analyst, this increases the likelihood of a sharp short squeeze that could push the Bitcoin price towards $125,000 in the coming months.

At this point, Faria believes Bitcoin could reach $125,000 within the next one to two months. Faria bases this prediction on the funding rate of $BTC perpetual futures, which has fallen to its lowest level since 2023.

According to the analyst, if the Bitcoin price continues to rise, this could lead to a mass forced liquidation of short positions, causing a short position squeeze that would accelerate the price rally.

French Finance Minister Calls for Expanded Use of Euro-Pended Stablecoins! Here Are the Details



French Economy and Finance Minister Roland Lescure stated that the use of euro-pegged stablecoins should be expanded and called on European banks to take a more active role.

According to Reuters, Lescure, speaking at a cryptocurrency conference in Paris, expressed dissatisfaction with the current state of Euro-denominated digital assets.

Minister Lescure pointed out that US dollar-backed stablecoins, in particular, have a much larger market share globally, emphasizing that Europe lags behind in this area. It is believed that the limited scale of Euro stablecoins could weaken the competitiveness of the European financial system in its digital transformation process.

In his speech, Lescure also directly called on banks, saying that financial institutions should further consider products called “deposit tokens,” which convert bank deposits into digital assets.

It is stated that these types of tokens can speed up payment systems and reduce costs by bridging the gap between traditional finance and blockchain technology.

While the European Union has recently taken steps to clarify the regulatory framework for crypto assets and stablecoins, Lescure’s statements are being interpreted as pressure to accelerate this process.

According to experts, the widespread adoption of euro-backed stablecoins could both contribute to the debate on a digital euro and strengthen Europe’s position in global financial competition
