Opinion: Chaos in the U.S. bond market may force the Fed to intervene, which may prompt some investors to turn to Bitcoin JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon is preparing for chaos in the nearly $30 trillion U.S. Treasury market, which plays a central role in global finance, setting the tone for everything from mortgage rates to corporate bond yields, and the Federal Reserve will only act if "they start to panic a little bit." Jamie Dimon warned that if the financial system is paralyzed again, the consequences could spread throughout the economy. Turmoil in the U.S. Treasury market that leads to Fed intervention could prompt some investors to turn to Bitcoin (BTC), which is often seen as a hedge against currency instability, which seemed to be the case in 2020, when the Fed's aggressive stimulus measures sent Bitcoin prices soaring.

We went from extremely high tariff rates across the board to 10% tariffs and now tariff exclusions in less than 2 weeks. But yeah, it’s not because of the bond market

Opinion: The latest U.S. exemption list once again demonstrates that the bond market is forcing Trump to compromise

BlackRock’s BUIDL fund has seen rapid growth in the past few weeks, showing growing recognition of blockchain’s role in tradFi. The investor appetite for blockchain-based securities is growing, despite a market downturn. On Friday, April 11, BlackRock’s BUIDL fund surpassed $2.1 billion in assets under management on Ethereum ( ETH ). These funds account for 90.5% of all BUIDL tokens across the seven chains it supports. BREAKING: The BlackRock BUIDL fund's AUM on @ethereum surpassed $2 billion. BUIDL is currently available on 7 chains, with ~90.5% of the fund's AUM tokenized on Ethereum. pic.twitter.com/V3WeHVDp9Y The BUIDL fund has seen rapid growth in the past few weeks, rising from around $500 million in AUM to its current level of over $2 billion. Interestingly, this growth began just as fears over the ongoing trade war were rocking the markets. As stocks and crypto took a tumble, investors looked for safer, yield-bearing instruments like U.S. treasuries. The BUIDL fund, which generates yield through treasuries, was one of the beneficiaries of this shift. What is more, treasury yields are on the rise, with 10-year U.S. treasuries rising 13 basis points on April 11. While economic uncertainty is causing a panic in the U.S. bond market, especially overseas, higher yields will likely attract domestic investors. The growth of the BUIDL fund’s AUM showcases the increasing recognition of blockchain’s potential in traditional finance. Notably, BUIDL tokens are much more akin to traditional financial instruments than altcoins. Unlike most other crypto tokens, BUIDL tokens are explicitly securities, and regulations apply to their trade. For example, traders must pass a strict KYC process to hold and trade the tokens. They generate yield for holders through investment in U.S. treasuries. At the same time, the funds benefit from blockchain and asset tokenization, which make them more efficient compared to similar off-chain instruments. The platform boasts instantaneous and transparent settlement, leveraging blockchain tech for that purpose. It also features programmable compliance, with its smart contracts designed to adhere to regulations.

President Donald Trump acknowledged Thursday that his tariff policy changes will be problematic but said he pursued them because no one else had taken the issues on. Speaking at a Cabinet meeting, Trump defended the shift in trade strategy as a necessary correction, despite short-term pain. “The transition is difficult, but the end result will be positive,” he said, according to a CNBC livestream. Trump is not ruling out extending the 90-day pause on his “reciprocal” tariffs. During a Cabinet meeting, he stated that if he cannot secure favorable deals with U.S. trading partners, tariffs will revert to higher rates after the pause. When asked about extending the pause, he replied, “We’ll have to see what happens,” according to CNBC. The major U.S. stock market indices closed lower today, with the S&P 500 down 3.46%, the Nasdaq falling 4.31%, and the Dow decreasing by 2.50%. Bitcoin ( BTC ) gave up some of its gains from April 9 and is trading at $79,800. Overall, it was a challenging day for investors across the board. The remarks came as economic anxiety rises among U.S. monetary policymakers. Chicago Federal Reserve Bank President Austan Goolsbee expressed concern about a return to economic conditions seen during the COVID-19 pandemic. Citing a loss of confidence and growing anxiety within the district, Goolsbee warned that setbacks in sentiment could create broader risks for the economy. A Wall Street Journal report added further context to Trump’s trade approach, revealing that the former president had previously accepted the risk of a shallow recession in order to avoid a deeper depression. However, amid market volatility and a sharp rise in Treasury yields, Trump reversed course on some tariffs. The decision, influenced by collapsing bond markets and advice from National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett, helped spur a market rebound on April 9. The S&P 500 posted its strongest single-day gain since 2008. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reportedly played a significant role in coordinating the policy shift.
