The BTC breakout was a Treasury liquidity event, not a crypto event — and the funding data says it's not a crowded long yet Quick reconstruction of the week, because the sequencing matters more than the price action: Aug 18 — SEC proposes "Regulation Crypto Assets," easing disclosure requirements for certain offerings. Aug 19 — Treasury announces long-dated bond buybacks at least double in size, $2B to $4B+ per operation. Yields drop. Aug 20 — BTC breaks the six-week range, tops $71K. Roughly $3B of shorts liquidated in 24h, largest since 2021. Spot BTC ETFs take $606M. Aug 21-22 — BTC settles around $77.3K, +22.7% on the week. ETH ~$2,360. XRP +39%. Fear and Greed 72.
