Macro & Geopolitical
Global macro conditions remain supportive for risk assets as Treasury yields stabilize and equity markets extend gains. The DXY retreated from recent highs while oil prices found support above technical levels, creating a constructive backdrop for digital asset flows. Geopolitical tensions in Eastern Europe continue to underpin safe-haven demand for both traditional and alternative stores of value.
