André Dragosch of crypto asset manager Bitwise puts Bitcoin's fair value at $197,000. In a new interview published by Bitcoin Magazine, he addresses the ongoing spike in the 10-year Treasury yield, the benchmark rate that anchors borrowing costs across financial markets, and shares a rule of thumb for when such a move becomes dangerous: 80 basis points (0.80 percentage points) within 20 trading days.
Dragosch explains why the speed of the move in yields matters more than its level, how a stock market correction could force a Federal Reserve pivot, and why, in his assessment, that pivot could be the last domino before a genuine Bitcoin bull market. His 80-basis-point-in-20-trading-days rule of thumb also gives viewers a concrete threshold for tracking how quickly the current move unfolds.
