- Raoul Pal suggests a weakening US dollar may boost crypto markets, which are currently hindered by high bond yields.
- The US Dollar Index has reached its highest levels this year, impacting liquidity flow.

- In September, the US Treasury yield climbed to 5.29%, while the Federal Reserve raised its benchmark rate by a quarter-point.
- Solana recorded approximately 3.2 million active addresses compared to Ethereum’s roughly 387,000 in a recent analysis.
