BlockBeats News, February 19th, according to Barchart, the Fed injected $18.5 billion into the U.S. banking system this week through overnight repo, marking the fourth largest liquidity injection since the COVID-19 pandemic, surpassing even the peak of the dot-com bubble.
The chart shows that liquidity injection peaks since 2021 have mainly occurred during times of pandemic and economic stress. This injection reflects banking reserve strain, possibly due to end-of-quarter funding needs or broader credit tightening.
