What this yield tells you
The 5-year note sits in the middle of the curve. US corporate loans and auto loans price off it, and comparing it with inflation-protected TIPS gives the market's five-year inflation expectation.
It blends Fed and inflation expectations, so it usually moves between the 2-year and the 10-year.
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 5-Year Treasury note yield today?
5.06%, +5 bp on the day.
What are the record high and low?
High: 16.27% (September 30, 1981); low: 0.19% (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.
