U.K. bond yields hit 18-year high as Bitcoin holds above $76K

U.K. government bond yields surged to an 18‑year high, reflecting higher real and nominal interest rates and tighter monetary expectations. Despite that upward pressure on risk-free rates, Bitcoin has held above $76,000, showing resilience and continued investor demand for crypto exposure or inflation hedging. Key implication: if yields keep rising it could weigh on speculative assets and test BTC’s rally, but current strength above $76K indicates the market is still willing to allocate to Bitcoin, making yield movements a critical risk monitor for near‑term price direction.
