XPOWER
LIQUIDITY KNOWLEDGE BASE

Reverse Repo

Cash parked at the Fed through reverse repos.

Definition

The reverse repo facility lets money-market funds and other counterparties park cash at the Federal Reserve overnight.

Liquidity Rule

RRP down can release cash back into markets or bank deposits. RRP up means more cash is parked at the Fed.

Crypto Impact

RRP drawdown can cushion liquidity drains, but it is strongest when reserves and risk appetite also cooperate.

Bullish Setup

RRP falling while TGA is not rebuilding aggressively.

Bearish Setup

RRP rising together with a TGA rebuild.

Common Misunderstanding

RRP falling is not always direct buying power for crypto; it is a cushion, not a guarantee.
