Great article from André on $STRC

Couple great points:
*When looking at different fixed income securities by credit rating, STRC almost yields as much as CCC-rated US high yield bonds with an issuer rating of B-.

*Both Sharpe Ratio and STRC's carry-to-risk have been the highest among any comparable asset class.

*Put differently, STRC is yielding like a junk bond but trading like a T-Bill in terms of volatility.

Crypto Exchange Volumes at Lowest Point Over the Last 12 Months

Thoughts:

Looking at the graphs, the ongoing war with Iran serves as a significant macro overlay on top of the post-BTC-high deleveraging and already sticky interest rates. With Bitcoin currently trading about 45% below its all-time high near $126,000 from October 2025, the price action doesn’t reflect panic selling. Instead, it points to a measured “wait-and-see” stance that’s keeping trading participation subdued across Asia, Europe, and North America alike.

A swift ceasefire could ease some of this pressure and help rebuild confidence and potentially support a rebound in volumes. However, as long as the conflict drags on with daily developments and uncertainty, we should expect continued caution from investors.

One factor that could further weigh on Bitcoin’s price action is the market’s whiplash between expectations of a Fed rate hike versus a cut. While history has shown some of Bitcoin’s strongest buying opportunities emerging during or just after periods of Fed tightening, many market experts argue that current pricing partly reflects the market’s tendency to overreact. If that positioning unwinds quickly, it could introduce even more uncertainty and keep Bitcoin’s price suppressed for longer while investor confidence remains fragile.
