Tokenized treasuries reach record 15.35 billion amid bitcoin stall

Tokenized U.S. Treasuries climbed to a new high of 15.35 billion dollars in value locked on May 13. Bitcoin held above 80,000 dollars but showed limited upside as traders weighed rising odds of a Federal Reserve rate increase. The shift comes ahead of key inflation data and political meetings.

The total value locked in tokenized Treasuries topped the previous mid-April peak of around 15.10 billion dollars, according to data from rwa.xyz. Investors moved into yield-bearing products such as BlackRock's BUIDL as expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts faded and borrowing costs could rise instead.

Bitcoin surges above $82,000 amid US-Iran de-escalation

Imeripotiwa na AI Picha iliyoundwa na AI

Bitcoin climbed above $82,000 on May 6, driven by reports of easing tensions between the United States and Iran. Oil prices fell sharply as President Donald Trump paused a military operation in the Strait of Hormuz. The move triggered more than $200 million in short liquidations.

Bitcoin traded around $72,700 on Thursday, maintaining gains above $70,000 but pausing its recent breakout without pushing toward $80,000. Ether also saw modest increases of less than 1%, as investors assessed macroeconomic risks and derivatives activity. Broader market indices for major cryptocurrencies rose about 3%, while sectors like DeFi showed little movement.

Cryptocurrencies have shown resilience, trading higher despite a sharp rise in crude oil prices that unsettled global markets. The overall market capitalization climbed more than 2 percent in the past 24 hours to $2.36 trillion, with trading volume surging 52 percent to $99 billion. Bitcoin led the gains, rising 3.2 percent to $69,317.58.

Bitcoin surged above $80,000 for the first time since January during early Asian trading on May 4, 2026, reaching highs around $80,600. The cryptocurrency later pulled back to around $79,000 following reports of an Iranian missile strike on a U.S. warship, which the U.S. denied. Geopolitical risks near the Strait of Hormuz overshadowed strong ETF inflows supporting the rally.

Cryptocurrency prices fell on February 16, 2026, following a weaker-than-expected US jobs report. Bitcoin traded around $67,500, down 2% for the day, while the total market capitalization dropped to $2.39 trillion. Analysts noted ongoing correlation with broader risk assets amid economic caution.

Traders are eyeing macroeconomic indicators to determine Bitcoin's upcoming price direction after a recent 28% slide. The cryptocurrency has been trading in a narrow range between $65,000 and $74,400 amid low liquidity and a lack of clear market narrative. Experts highlight interest rates, Treasury financing, and institutional demand as key drivers.
