this situation is putting pressure on the Fed to decrease interest rates and start QE soon

the funding could also come from Fed’s facilities, like the SRF or OMO

however, current SRF rate is 4.5%, which is above the yield on T-bills, and Fed is still officially in QT, so no large-scale, longer-term liquidity injections via open market operations
