Rising Treasury yields push Bitcoin down nearly 5% in the week to Oct. 9
AI Market Summary
Rising U.S. Treasury yields (10-year at 5.25%, highest since 2002) are tightening financial conditions and prompting rotation away from risk assets, leaving BTC down ~5% on the week. Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $487.1m in weekly net outflows (largest since June 25), reinforcing risk-off positioning. Offsetting headlines (corporate BTC adds, Thailand ETF access) are secondary to rate-driven deleveraging and ETF flow weakness.
