Bitcoin has plunged almost 40% from its peak of $126,000. While it currently trades a little above $77,000, prices remain fragile, and investors are positioning for a deeper drawdown.

Amidst intense bearish sentiment, Raoul Pal, founder and CEO of Global Macro Investor, said that widely circulating claims that BTC and the broader crypto market are “broken” represent a false narrative driven by temporary liquidity conditions rather than a failed cycle.

Bitcoin and SaaS

Pal said the dominant market story indicates the crypto cycle is over, and prices are collapsing due to factors such as exchange issues, institutional actions, or structural flaws. But he described this view as an “alluring narrative trap” which has been reinforced by continued daily price declines. Analysis showed that the UBS SaaS Index and Bitcoin have followed nearly identical price patterns, which essentially indicates a common underlying factor rather than asset-specific problems.

According to Pal, that factor is US liquidity, which has been constrained as a result of several technical and fiscal factors. He pointed to the completion of the US Reverse Repo drain in 2024, followed by Treasury General Account (TGA) rebuilds in July and August that lacked an offsetting liquidity injection, which ended up resulting in a liquidity withdrawal.

Pal stated this liquidity shortage has also contributed to weak ISM readings. While Global Total Liquidity typically has the strongest long-term correlation with Bitcoin and US equities, he argued that US Total Liquidity is currently more influential because the US is the primary source of global liquidity. The GMI founder added that global liquidity has led US liquidity this cycle and is beginning to turn higher, which is expected to feed through to US liquidity and economic indicators.

Bitcoin and SaaS have been particularly affected because they are among the longest-duration assets and therefore most sensitive to liquidity conditions.  The rally in gold absorbed marginal liquidity that might otherwise have flowed into riskier assets such as Bitcoin and SaaS, leaving insufficient liquidity to support all asset classes at the same time, he said.

The current US government shutdown has intensified the liquidity drain, as the Treasury did not draw down the TGA after the previous shutdown and instead added to it. He called the resulting environment a temporary “air pocket,” which has caused severe price pressure.

However, Pal said signs indicate the shutdown could be resolved soon, and characterized it as the final major liquidity obstacle. He reiterated that additional liquidity factors, such as adjustments to the enhanced supplementary leverage ratio (eSLR), partial TGA drawdowns, fiscal stimulus, and eventual rate cuts, remain ahead.

Hawkish Fed Fears

Some market commentators have hinted that expectations of a more cautious pace of rate cuts under incoming Fed chair Kevin Warsh have also weighed on markets. But Pal rejected claims that Warsh represents a hawkish policy stance, and instead called the narrative incorrect and rooted in outdated comments. He believes Warsh’s approach aligns with policies favoring rate cuts and economic expansion, while maintaining balance sheet stability due to reserve constraints.

Despite the recent turmoil in the market, Pal said that he remains strongly bullish on 2026.

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach

The post UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The UK and US are reportedly preparing to deepen cooperation on digital assets, with Britain looking to copy the Trump administration’s crypto-friendly stance in a bid to boost innovation.  UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent discussed on Tuesday how the two nations could strengthen their coordination on crypto, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.  The discussions also involved representatives from crypto companies, including Coinbase, Circle Internet Group and Ripple, with executives from the Bank of America, Barclays and Citi also attending, according to the report. The agreement was made “last-minute” after crypto advocacy groups urged the UK government on Thursday to adopt a more open stance toward the industry, claiming its cautious approach to the sector has left the country lagging in innovation and policy.  Source: Rachel Reeves Deal to include stablecoins, look to unlock adoption Any deal between the countries is likely to include stablecoins, the Financial Times reported, an area of crypto that US President Donald Trump made a policy priority and in which his family has significant business interests. The Financial Times reported on Monday that UK crypto advocacy groups also slammed the Bank of England’s proposal to limit individual stablecoin holdings to between 10,000 British pounds ($13,650) and 20,000 pounds ($27,300), claiming it would be difficult and expensive to implement. UK banks appear to have slowed adoption too, with around 40% of 2,000 recently surveyed crypto investors saying that their banks had either blocked or delayed a payment to a crypto provider.  Many of these actions have been linked to concerns over volatility, fraud and scams. The UK has made some progress on crypto regulation recently, proposing a framework in May that would see crypto exchanges, dealers, and agents treated similarly to traditional finance firms, with…
