Is Bitcoin’s Liquidity Tailwind Ending? MOVE, Repo, and the Dollar Explained

About this episode

In this episode, Nik is joined by TBL researcher Demian Schatt to break down a major macro signal flashing caution across markets: a sudden spike in the MOVE Index, the bond market’s volatility gauge. He explains why the recent Treasury refunding announcement is pushing rollover risk higher, and what that means for liquidity, credit creation, and risk assets like Bitcoin. Nik also explores the current strength in the dollar, the potential for higher volatility in duration, and whether the multi-month trend of rising liquidity is starting to reverse.
