3 Stocks Tied To Rising Treasury Yields That Retail Investors Should Track

Bond markets are stealing the spotlight as long term U.S. Treasury yields push to 20+ year highs, and that shift is quietly reshaping where risk and reward sit across your portfolio. When money gets more expensive and volatility picks up, the plumbing of the bond and derivatives market can turn from background noise into a potential source of opportunity. This article walks through three U.S. market infrastructure stocks exposed to these rate moves, showing where the news flow could help or hurt their business models and how that might matter for your own investing decisions.

The three stocks covered next are just a starting sample. The full screen surfaced 26 more companies with equally compelling bond and derivatives infrastructure narratives that are not covered here. To go deeper into this space, analyze and identify your own highest conviction picks directly in the US Bond and Derivatives Market Infrastructure Providers screener.

WisdomTree (WT)

WisdomTree sits in this screener as an ETF sponsor plugged into bond trading through its fixed income products, yet its real story for investors is the fee stream from a single ETP and asset management engine generating about $610 million of segment revenue on a roughly $3.5b market value.

WisdomTree gives you access to the bond and derivatives ecosystem through its ETFs and digital platforms. The bigger angle is how the business is trying to reshape what an asset manager can be when interest rates and trading volumes move around.

"WisdomTree's early investments in blockchain, tokenization, and stablecoin-powered digital asset infrastructure are enabling new product and revenue streams (such as tokenized funds and scalable net interest income), aligning them with the expanding adoption of digital finance, which is likely to boost both top line and margin expansion.

What happens to WisdomTree’s earnings power now largely hinges on how one unseen pressure reshapes the economics of those onchain products.

That hidden pressure is where the story really starts to get interesting, and the full narrative for WisdomTree shows how that earnings mix could accelerate or stall from here.

Interactive Brokers Group (IBKR)

Interactive Brokers Group is one of the clearest pure plays in this screener on the plumbing behind global bond and derivatives trading, with a single brokerage segment generating about US$6.8b of revenue on a platform now valued around US$149.3b.

Interactive Brokers Group gives rate traders, hedge funds, and retail investors direct access to the machinery of global fixed income and derivatives markets, so sharp moves in Treasuries or volatility often show up quickly in its trading volumes and interest-linked income.

"Another risk to monitor is interest rate sensitivity. Net interest income is one of IBKR’s largest profit drivers."

What happens to that profit engine if one key driver of client behavior shifts direction is what could really move the story from here.

If that pivot in client behavior is what you are focused on, the full narrative for Interactive Brokers Group outlines how interest sensitivity, trading activity and new levers could be decoupling for Interactive Brokers Group.

XP (XP)

XP is effectively Brazil’s gateway into this bond and derivatives infrastructure theme, since its platform concentrates fixed-income trading and related products for local investors while the Brokerage unit generates about R$18.6b of revenue on a business valued near US$15.3b.

That mix of retail flows, fixed-income distribution and derivatives activity across Brazil’s capital markets is what makes XP relevant for this screen. It is also what sets up the most important long term question about how its platform grows from here.

"The rapid client migration away from traditional banking to digital and tech-first investment platforms remains underappreciated, with XP's multi-channel ecosystem (IFA, internal advisers, RIAs) poised to capture significant share; this channel diversification and platform stickiness are likely to accelerate net new money inflows and drive sustained revenue growth."

What really tests XP’s potential is how one unresolved shift in investor risk appetite filters through to pricing power and long run margins.

If that shift in risk appetite is what you are watching, the full narrative for XP explains how XP’s growth engine could be accelerating or stalling beneath the headline metrics.
