Pantera's Dan Morehead Calls Bessent's Bond Buyback a ‘Bluff' That Backfired

Pantera CEO Dan Morehead called Jack Bessent’s bond buyback a “bluff” that ultimately backfired, arguing the move failed to shore up market confidence. Morehead says the episode exposed thin liquidity and a lack of genuine support behind the bonds, damaging the issuer’s credibility. The key implication for Bitcoin is a likely shift of risk-off capital and demand toward BTC as a relative liquidity refuge, which could boost inflows and increase short-term volatility.
