The yield on the 30-year US Treasury bond has retaken the 5% mark for the third time in less than three years, and this time the bill is arriving in plain sight: Washington is now spending roughly?$1.22 trillion?a year servicing its debt, the equivalent of over 4% of GDP and a level the United States has not paid out in interest since the early 1990s.

BlackRock (BLK) is integrating its tokenized money market fund BUIDL with cryptocurrency exchange OKX as Bitcoin spot ETFs continue to attract significant inflows. Under the arrangement, the fund can be used as collateral while continuing to generate yield from low-risk assets such as U.S. Treasuries.
In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.
Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
Before investing, consider the funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
