BNB Trades Near Its Pivot as Treasury Yields Reach Multi-Decade Highs
Blockchain.News reported BNB at $771.98, close to a $773.77 pivot, as U.S. Treasury yields hit levels last seen in 2004 and 2007.
Why it matters
The report ties BNB's trading range to Treasury yields and to broad crypto liquidations, and it points to a link between the token and the top-ten crypto basket that would transmit Bitcoin moves into BNB. The DOJ reference in the headline is not described in the available text, so the nature of any U.S. Department of Justice involvement remains unclear.

What happened
Blockchain.News reported BNB trading at $771.98, almost exactly on a $773.77 pivot point, after a quarter in which the token rose roughly 40% off its June lows. The same report put BNB's correlation with the top-ten crypto basket at 0.779. It attributed pressure on the token to a macro backdrop in which U.S. Treasury yields reached levels not seen since 2004 on the 30-year and since 2007 on the 10-year, which breached 5.13%, and Bitcoin fell to $84,200. It also cited $587 million in crypto liquidations on September 23, approximately $450 million of which were long positions, with Q3 closing on September 30. The report said Binance recorded $11.4 trillion in trading volume in the first half of 2026 and that registered users stand at 323 million. No other outlet in this evidence set covers the story, so the price levels, the DOJ angle in the headline and the forward-looking framing are single-source and unconfirmed by independent reporting.
