Short Term Treasury

Definition

Short Term Treasury refers to government debt instruments with maturities typically ranging from a few days to one year. These are considered highly liquid and low-risk investments, often used by institutions for cash management and as a benchmark for risk-free rates. In the digital asset space, some stablecoin projects or DeFi protocols may hold short-term treasuries as part of their reserve assets. They serve as a stable and conservative component within broader financial portfolios.
