🇺🇸🚨 FED PUMPING ANOTHER 19.5 BILLION IN OVERNIGHT REPO 🚨🇺🇸
The Federal Reserve injected 19.5 billion dollars into the US banking system through overnight repo operations, marking the third largest injection since Covid according to data released on financial platforms.
Through the Standing Repo Facility (SRF), banks exchanged Treasury and MBS for immediate cash, repayable within 24 hours, to cover temporary liquidity gaps.
It is not permanent QE, but a sign of stress: it follows the record of 74.6 billion withdrawn from the SRF on December 31, 2025 – the highest since 2020 – driven by year-end adjustments, tax deadlines, and collateral shortages related to mismatches in commodities such as silver.
Reuters and analysts note that the record use of the SRF reflects seasonal pressures, but with daily limits removed by the Fed, it indicates vigilance over fragile funding markets.
While overnight rates remain stable, serial injections (40+ billion in December) fuel fears of systemic cracks.
For markets, it is bullish for Bitcoin and gold as a hedge: Fed liquidity often precedes risk-on in crypto.
