ChainCatcher reports that, according to Barchart, the Federal Reserve injected $18.5 billion into the U.S. banking system through overnight repurchase agreements this week. This is the fourth-largest liquidity injection since the COVID-19 pandemic and even surpasses the peak of the dot-com bubble.
The chart shows that since 2021, liquidity injection peaks mainly occurred during periods of pandemic and economic stress. This injection reflects tight bank reserves, possibly due to quarter-end funding needs or broader credit tightening.
