The Federal Reserve has pumped $13.5 billion into the U.S. banking system through overnight repos, marking the second-largest liquidity injection since the pandemic and surpassing even interventions seen during the Dot-Com Bubble
The move aims to stabilize credit markets and boost investor confidence. And it appears to be giving cryptocurrency markets a lift.
Crypto Market Reacts
Bitcoin (BTC) jumped more than 9% over the past 24 hours, briefly topping $94,000 and currently trading around $92,900. Ethereum (ETH) surged over 10%, climbing past $3,000
Overall, the crypto market capitalization rose 7.1% to $3.15 trillion, with all major cryptocurrencies in the green.
CoinGlass reports that the Coinbase BTC premium has turned positive again, suggesting renewed retail and institutional appetite. On-chain activity remains robust, with $6.9 trillion settled over the last 90 days.
Blockchain analytics firm Glassnode notes that Bitcoin faced rejection at $93,000 last week, but as it attempts to retest this level, forced buybacks by traders betting against the market are adding momentum
Meanwhile, the network has absorbed $732 billion in new capital this cycle, with volatility declining, signaling a more stable, institutional-driven market.
According to Glassnode, digital versions of real-world assets (RWA) grew from $7 billion to $24 billion over the past year, reflecting growing institutional interest
On-chain settlement activity remains strong, with Bitcoin and stablecoins handling $6.9 trillion over the past 90 days, comparable to or exceeding Visa and Mastercard volumes.

People Also Ask:
What does it mean that the Fed “injected liquidity” into banks? The Federal Reserve lent $13.5 billion to U.S. banks through overnight repos, giving banks short-term cash to stabilize lending and financial markets.
Why does this affect Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies? Extra liquidity in traditional markets can encourage investors to take more risks. Some of that capital can flow into cryptocurrencies, pushing prices higher.
What are short-liquidation clusters? These occur when traders who bet against an asset (shorts) are forced to buy it back due to price increases, which can push prices even higher.
What are tokenized real-world assets (RWAs)? RWAs are physical or financial assets represented digitally on a blockchain, making them easier to trade and opening investment access to more people.
What does “on-chain activity” mean? It refers to transactions and movements recorded directly on the blockchain, helping analysts track adoption, usage, and market trends.
