Coinbase’s fixed-rate Bitcoin-backed USDC loans add a separate liquidation risk: borrowers must repay the full balance by a set maturity date. If they miss it, Morpho liquidators may take collateral even when the loan-to-value ratio remains healthy. A falling collateral value can still trigger liquidation before maturity.

The 10-year Treasury yield climbed to its highest level since 2007, sending U.S. stocks and cryptocurrencies lower before traders in Asia and Europe bought the dip.
Data suggests that Bitcoin largely ignores rising bond yields over longer periods. In the near term, however, a sharp increase in bond-market volatility could dampen crypto’s speculative appetite.
Traders see four Federal Reserve rate hikes by June 2027 as the most likely path. Rising bond yields and a stronger dollar are weighing on bitcoin and gold, with bitcoin slipping below $83,000.

US-listed Bitcoin ETFs attracted more than $1.7 billion this week, reversing a $5.69 billion year-to-date deficit. BlackRock’s IBIT captured a large share of the buying, but Bitcoin’s climb toward $88,000 prompted short-term holders to send about 47,600 profitable BTC to exchanges. The resulting profit-taking has slowed the rally despite continued ETF inflows.
