BitGo sees higher real yields weighing on bitcoin near term

BitGo's market analysis sees higher real yields pressuring bitcoin near term, while record debt strengthens its longer-term investment case. Real returns near 3% raise the hurdle for bitcoin, which pays no direct yield. Tokenized Treasuries can reduce idle capital through faster settlement and immediate collateral use; interoperability between ledgers remains unresolved. BNY's October 13 announcement detailed a Citadel Securities triparty repo using a tokenized U.S. Treasury that settled within minutes rather than T+1. Ledger-related losses estimated at $86 million to $102 million highlight single-seed custody risks; multisignature wallets can limit exposure to compromised devices.
