Bessent: Treasury evaluating Trump’s $5,000 cash payout proposal

The headline number is less telling than the venue: a cash-transfer proposal being sized up inside the Treasury signals fiscal policy and household stimulus are converging, which is the channel that ultimately feeds liquidity into risk assets, including crypto. That said, the item gives no scope, timing or eligibility, so the practical read-through is close to zero until parameters exist. The open question is whether this stays a rhetorical proposal or becomes a scored, costed program — that distinction, not the $5,000 figure, is what markets would eventually price.
