Investopedia explains 'On-The-Run Treasuries'

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 trade at a slight premium and therefore yield a little less than their off-the-run counterparts. Some traders successfully exploit this price differential through an arbitrage strategy that involves selling (or going short) on-the-run Treasuries and buying off-the-run Treasuries.
