At press time, UST is trading for roughly $0.67, with a low of $0.6065.

Speaking to The Block on the market situation Monday, Genesis Global Trading head of derivatives Josh Lim said that"[w]e're seeing a slow-motion meltdown, partially because it's mostly been long holders selling and also because OTC market structure has shifted to slow-moving algo executions instead of at-risk blocks."

"Now that some corporate treasuries are underwater on their BTC cost basis and others are very close, markets are waiting and watching to see if shareholders will force some de-risking," he continued.
