The Yield Curve Under Pressure: Where We Stand

Comparing the 10-year US Treasury yield against current Fed Funds rates reveals an interesting gap. The spread remains noticeably below historical norms, signaling that we're still some distance from normalizing back to long-term averages.

This matters for crypto investors. A flattened yield curve traditionally reflects economic uncertainty and shifting rate expectations. As the market continues digesting monetary policy signals, the trajectory of this relationship could shape risk appetite across both traditional and digital assets.

We're not there yet—but the question remains: when will this return to equilibrium?

The yield curve is still not moving again and again. How much longer do we have to wait?

Starting to talk about spreads again? Bro, I only know the liquidation price. Things like historical normality? They don't exist when I'm losing big. Return to equilibrium? First, ask whether my margin ratio agrees or disagrees.
