Crypto markets have been somewhat muted as the U.S. Treasury drained liquidity from the system. But as it approaches completing its Treasury General Account (TGA) refill, something the former BitMEX CEO, Arthur Hayes, called a “liquidity drain,” the “up only” trajectory can get back on track.

Hitting that mark meant soaking up hundreds of billions in cash by…
