US Treasury bonds, with a 10-year maturity, have reached their highest level since 2007, surpassing 4.9%, shaking risky assets such as stocks and cryptocurrencies. However, a closer look reveals that this increase in Treasury bonds has had a greater impact on <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/what-is-danksharding/" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ethereum</a> (ETH), the second-largest cryptocurrency, than on <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/bitcoin-is-the-mysterious-crypto-analyst-right-about-the-impending-boom/" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> (<a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/the-potential-impact-of-spot-bitcoin-etfs-on-the-market-an-analysis-by-coinbase/" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC</a>).
