While macroeconomic ripples reverberate through global markets, long-dated bond yields have been steadily climbing—stoking further anxiety among investors. At the same time, Tracy Jin, COO of the crypto exchange MEXC, notes that as U.S. Treasuries fall out of favor amid ballooning yields and mounting debt obligations, bitcoin’s impartial nature and fluid convertibility are positioning it as a compelling counterweight.

MEXC’s Tracy Jin Breaks It Down: BTC’s Calm Amid Chaos Is No Fluke
On Monday, May 26, 2025, at 1:30 p.m. Eastern time, bitcoin ( BTC) hovered within a tight range, trading between $109,160 and $110,461 over the preceding four hours. Although this mild variability follows a rebound from the weekend’s $106,000 trough, MEXC’s Chief Operating Officer Tracy Jin explained to Bitcoin.com News how BTC has been navigating the broader macroeconomic turmoil on its own distinct trajectory—and why it matters.
“The sharp pivot by many corporations integrating BTC into their long-term investment strategies is fundamentally reshaping bitcoin’s market dynamics,” the MEXC executive explained in a note sent to our newsdesk. “What was once a retail-driven market and highly cyclical asset has become a cornerstone in institutional finance. This investor behaviour dynamics highlights that most institutions are less focused on short-term market volatility and have eyes on bitcoin’s potential asymmetric upside and long-term value proposition.”
The current momentum is driven by structured capital inflow and corporate positioning, with institutions building strategies around bitcoin, Jin explained. At the same time, traditional finance (TradFi) finds itself engulfed in a haze of uncertainty. Equities have been sliding, while yields on U.S. Treasuries—and bonds across global markets—have been climbing at a brisk clip.
“Importantly, this is not a flight from risk — it’s a flight from the old model of risk. Bond yields in the U.S. and Japan are surging, sovereign debt burdens are flashing red, and even the last remaining AAA credit badge is gone,” she said. “For decades, Treasurys were the safe haven during turbulent times. Today, capital is running from them. Japanese institutions are rethinking their exposure to U.S. bonds, while American investors are watching political tensions creep into Fed policy decisions.”
The MEXC executive added:
In contrast, crypto — and particularly bitcoin — remains neutral, transparent, and increasingly liquid. That neutrality is fast becoming its most valuable asset.
The price of bitcoin is predicted to potentially increase, Jin said, however, it could also face downward pressure depending on macroeconomic factors. “If corporate finance and institutional momentum persist, bitcoin is expected to break the $109,500 and $111,000—$112,000 resistance range in the coming weeks and head towards the $140,000 range towards the end of summer,” Jin added.
MEXC’s Chief Operating Officer concluded:
Conversely, if the macroeconomic situation affects corporate demand, BTC might retest the support around $106,000—$107,000, and a breakdown will send BTC toward the major support zone at $100,000 and potentially further down toward $94,000. Bitcoin is yet to show any sign of overheating, and the bullish structure remains intact until a break below $94,000.
