Why a decline in the US dollar could be an indicator of shifting global power - Velshi - MSNBC

there assets are in properties, commodities, and crypto....

The cryptocurrency market has seen significant activity in 2025, driven by market growth, regulatory shifts, and global adoption:Market Surge and Bitcoin’s Record Highs:Bitcoin hit a new all-time high above $120,000 in July 2025, with a 2.6% price increase in a single day and a historic weekly close. The total crypto market cap reached $3.87 trillion, with 24-hour trading volume at $151 billion.

Altcoins like Ethereum ($3,000+), XRP ($3–$3.50), and Solana are also rallying, with Ethereum’s smart contract platform and Solana’s high-speed transactions (65,000 TPS) driving interest.

Posts on X reflect bullish sentiment, with some calling Bitcoin’s rise a “crisis mode” response to a weakening USD (-11% in 6 months) and rising interest rates.
