Two majors lagged. BNB rose 3.5% to $626 but holds a weekly gain of just over 2%. Tron was nearly flat at 33 cents and is the only major lower on the week.
The move began Wednesday, when Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent at least doubled the size of the department's bond buyback operations, which traders read as support for liquidity in the $30 trillion-plus Treasury market.
