What this yield tells you
The 10-year Treasury yield is the most important interest rate in the world. It sets US mortgage rates, anchors stock valuations and prices money globally. When it rises the dollar tends to strengthen and risk assets, tech stocks and crypto included, usually fall.
It peaked in 1981 as the Fed fought inflation and bottomed in August 2020 after the pandemic. Bond prices and yields move in opposite directions: a sell-off in Treasuries pushes yields up.
For crypto, Treasury yields are the price of money: a high risk-free yield makes assets that pay no interest, bitcoin included, less attractive. Sharp yield spikes often coincide with crypto sell-offs, and falling yields with money flowing back into risk.

Frequently asked questions
What is the 10-Year Treasury note yield today?
5.28%, +4 bp on the day.
What are the record high and low?
High: 15.84% (September 30, 1981); low: 0.52% (August 4, 2020), data since 1962.
Why do yields rise when bond prices fall?
The coupon is fixed. If a bond sells below face value, the same coupon is a bigger percentage of what the buyer paid, which is a higher yield.
How do Treasury yields affect bitcoin?
Higher risk-free yields make money more expensive and reduce demand for risky assets that pay no interest, so sharp yield rises usually weigh on bitcoin and falling yields support it.
