Raoul Pal Dismisses ’Broken Crypto’ Narrative, Blames U.S. Liquidity Crunch for Market Downturn
Macro investor Raoul Pal challenges the prevailing narrative that cryptocurrency markets are fundamentally flawed amid recent price declines. The Global Macro Investor founder attributes the sell-off to structural liquidity drains in the U.S. financial system rather than crypto-specific weaknesses.
Two government shutdowns and the depletion of the Reverse Repo facility have created what Pal describes as an "air pocket" for risk assets. While the Senate has reached a funding deal, delayed House proceedings continue to constrain market liquidity. Pal maintains Optimism that resolution of these temporary pressures will restore favorable conditions for digital assets.
