The U.S. Treasury will start an active debt buyback program on Sept. 7, with operations potentially reaching $16.5 billion, aiming to improve market liquidity. This move has drawn attention from cryptocurrency traders as it could support rallies in Bitcoin and XRP. Bitcoin is near $80,000 with key liquidation points around $79,500-$82,000, while XRP eyes a breakout above $1.45, with $1.70 and $2 as resistance targets. Traders also watch the Sept. 15 U.S. Senate vote on the CLARITY Act, which could further impact XRP and the crypto market. These buybacks are not quantitative easing but may influence financial conditions and interest rates.
