Treasury Market Impact refers to the influence that certain digital assets, particularly stablecoins, can have on the market for government debt securities. This impact arises when stablecoin issuers hold a significant portion of their reserves in short-term government bonds, such as US Treasury bills. Large-scale purchases or sales of these securities by stablecoin protocols can potentially affect their pricing, liquidity, and broader financial market stability. It represents a new channel of interconnection.
