I have recently noticed an interesting thing about STRC. This project demonstrates how Bitcoin can be used as collateral for a very large fixed-income market. This is a quite significant concept because it creates a completely new dynamic.
When the demand for STRC increases, the buying of BTC also increases. And when BTC buying increases, it puts upward pressure on the price. It works like a chain reaction - higher STRC demand means more Bitcoin purchases, which in turn strengthens BTC's price. And when BTC's price is strong, the creditworthiness of STRC also improves.
Currently, BTC is trading around $77.80K, and as long as STRC remains above its intrinsic value, this systematic upward pressure persists. It has essentially become an automatic mechanism. I think this concept could significantly influence BTC market dynamics in the future.
