Treasury yields, dollar index dynamics, and sovereign store-of-value appetite
Global macroeconomic conditions present an elevated yield environment, with the US 10-Year Treasury yield standing at 5.11% and the US Dollar Index (DXY) at 101.23. Despite competitive sovereign yields, valuation metrics across major digital assets remain firm. Bitcoin trades at $83,358, representing a 7-day return of +9.1% and a 30-day return of +6.1%. Meanwhile, Ethereum sits at $2,643 and Solana trades at $113.11. The broader sentiment benchmark, the Fear & Greed index, registers a reading of 71, categorized as Greed.
