Meanwhile, crypto analyst dharmafi shared more specific figures on X. The post emphasized an RRP of $65 billion and a TGA balance of $35 billion, with a significant net liquidity surge of $106 billion since Nov. 21.

As highlighted by Hayes, the rise in liquidity shows the changing dynamics in financial markets. Investors and Bitcoin enthusiasts observing liquidity injections can anticipate potential effects on the cryptocurrency market.

While the BitMEX co-founder highlighted the connection between dollar liquidity and the Bitcoin price, dharmafi’s data reinforces the impact of the liquidity surge. The $106 billion rise in net liquidity since Nov. 21 has raised questions about potential effects on diverse asset classes, including cryptocurrencies.

Meanwhile, Yellen, a skeptic of Bitcoin, recently cautioned cryptocurrency exchanges to abide by the law when speaking with Reuters at a meeting of G20 finance ministers and central bank governors.

Yellen stressed the significance of compliance in the digital currency industry, underscoring the need to follow regulations to operate within the U.S. financial system.
