Pav's Solo Breakdown: October ETF Outflows, US Bond Yield Pressure & AI Token Rotation

Is Bitcoin’s classic “Uptober” rally stalling out, or is the market quietly positioning for its next major move?

Pav rides solo to break down why digital asset markets have hit a stretch of “paint-drying” price action. He unpacks October’s sudden shift from massive ETF inflows to net negative outflows, declining derivatives open interest, and why key altcoins like Injective, Celestia, and Venice Token are pivoting toward AI agent payments. Plus, Pav explores how rising US 10-year bond yields, private equity strain, and persistent inflation are driving a risk-off mood across global markets.
