Investopedia explains On-The-Run Treasuries
When quoting the price or yield of a Treasury, all market commentary refers to the on-the-run issue.
The on-the-run bond or note is the most frequently traded Treasury security of its maturity. Because on-the-run issues are the most liquid, they typically are a little bit more expensive and, therefore, yield less than their off-the-run counterparts.
