- Bitcoin (BTC) traded around $78,000, gaining approximately 1% during the day.
- US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent indicated potential future interventions in the bond market.
- The US Treasury plans to double its debt buyback transactions to $4 billion starting September.
- The US 10-year bond yield reached its highest level since January at 4.76%, while the 30-year yield hit a high of 5.269%.
