Treasury weighs lending cash into repo market as TGA nears $1 trillion
- —Treasury's TGA could reach about $1.05 trillion by late October under its cash plan
- —The advisory committee in May estimated only 0–2 basis points of economic return
- —Fed's Roberto Perli said overnight repo rates averaged slightly below the rate on reserves
- —Roughly $400 billion of net bill issuance put only modest pressure on repo rates
Why it matters: If Treasury lends cash into repo, bank reserves and liquidity would rise, indirectly supporting risk assets including Bitcoin.
