According to The Block's Data and Insights report, Bitcoin's share of the crypto market has fallen from a peak of 62% to 55%, indicating that the market is entering the early stages of a rotation of capital from Bitcoin to altcoins. Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) are attracting renewed attention from both institutional and retail investors, while several digital asset treasuries are raising funds and purchasing assets through publicly traded entities, supporting the potential rise of altcoins. The report indicates that if the market continues to favor riskier assets, altcoins have room for further growth in the fourth quarter, but the key lies in whether genuine physical demand can be generated, rather than relying solely on short-term fluctuations driven by derivatives.

The U.S. Senate Banking Committee will hold a hearing Thursday morning local time for Stephen Milan, Trump's nominee for the Federal Reserve Board. In his pre-submitted testimony, Milan stated, "In my view, the central bank's most important mission is to prevent depression and hyperinflation. The independence of monetary policy is a key element to its success." Milan stated, "If confirmed, I intend to faithfully carry out my duties in accordance with the mandate granted by Congress. My opinions and decisions will be based on macroeconomic analysis and judgment about what is best for long-term management. The Federal Open Market Committee is an independent body with a significant mandate, and I intend to maintain that independence and serve the American people to the best of my ability." However, Milan also raised questions about the Fed's oversight of activities outside of its dual mandate, including its balance sheet. "The Federal Reserve oversees the world's most important financial institutions," he stated. "It sets different prices for borrowers and lenders (including other central banks). The ultimate composition of the Fed's balance sheet is an open question." (Jinshi)
