Bitcoin ETFs lost $282.6 million on September 10, their third straight outflow session.

Trump's $5,000-per-adult pitch in Dallas landed weeks before the midterms, right as the 10-year Treasury yield sits near a three-year high. The bond market is doing the math, and it's not friendly to the fiscal story either party wants to tell.
