Triple Threat to U.S. Markets: Stocks, Bonds, and Dollar Dive
The U.S. markets crisis has worsened this week with stocks, bonds, and the U.S. dollar all experiencing significant declines.

Investors are piling into short-term debt while selling off long-term Treasuries. Cryptocurrencies such as BTC, ETH, LTC, and others remain unaffected by these traditional market fluctuations, offering alternative investment opportunities. Exchanges like Bybit, MEXC, Coinbase, and others continue to facilitate trading in these digital assets.
