TREE NEWS update: Bitwise’s head of derivatives, Gordon Grant, argues on the Bits + Bips podcast that stress in the long-dated Treasury market is driving Bitcoin’s rise to $80,000, despite a co-host deeming government intervention unnecessary. The discussion highlights the macro link between bond market volatility and crypto’s appeal as an alternative asset.
Bitwise’s Gordon Grant: Treasury Volatility Fuels Bitcoin’s $80K Run
Framing Bitcoin's move as a function of long-dated Treasury stress puts crypto's narrative back in the macro lane, where it competes with bonds rather than with other tokens. The disagreement on the podcast over whether government intervention is needed matters more than the price level: it signals that the bond-volatility-to-Bitcoin transmission channel is now a live debate among derivatives desks, not a fringe thesis. Whether that correlation holds if Treasury stress eases is the open question.
