Federal Liquidity Injection is Equivalent to 13 Million Bitcoin (BTC) Per Day into the Markets

According to a report by CNBC, the Federal Reserve is significantly increasing the amount of temporary liquidity that it is providing the financial markets. Currently, it is providing $75 billion for repo operations, but this will increase to $120 billion this week. Repo is a form of short-term borrowing from dealers that comes in the form of government securities. The report explains that the New York Fed made the announcement but did not explain the reason for the increase.

Mike Shumacher, the global head of rate strategy at Wells Fargo Securities, stated that the injection is evidence that the Federal Reserve “will not back off” as the year-end nears and that it is seeking to take out more insurance.

7 Bitcoins reported that if the amount were converted to bitcoin, then the actual rate would be 12,903, 226 BTX.
