Raoul Pal’s latest “Journey Man” episode brings back Michael Howell, CEO of CrossBorder Capital, for a sweeping tour of the liquidity landscape that has propelled risk assets like crypto for nearly three years. Both agree the global liquidity cycle is “late,” still advancing but increasingly mature, with its eventual peak most likely pushed into 2026 by policy engineering, bill-heavy issuance, and rising use of private-sector conduits. The investment implication running through the conversation is unambiguous: long-duration assets—crypto and technology equities—remain the primary beneficiaries of ongoing currency debasement, yet the endgame is now visible on the horizon as a wall of debt refinancing and inflation risk approaches. How Long Will The Liquidity Cycle Push Crypto Higher? Howell’s high-level assessment is stark. “We’re late. It’s not inflecting downwards yet—we’re still in an upswing—but… the liquidity cycle is about 34 months old. That’s pretty mature.” In his framework, cycles typically run five to six years. Pal’s Everything Code—a synthesis of demographics, debt, and the policy liquidity needed to roll that debt—arrives at a similar destination, albeit with a slightly shorter cadence and a crucial timing nuance. “My view is it’s been extended,” Pal says, adding that the peak “normally would have finished sometime this end of this year, but it feels like it’s going to push out.” Howell places the likely turn “around about early 2026,” with his model’s latest estimate at March 2026, while Pal is “in the camp of Q2” 2026. The difference is tactical; the thrust is the same: the late-cycle rally can run further, but investors are now operating inside the final act. At the center of that act is what Howell calls a structural transition “from Fed QE to Treasury QE.” The US Treasury’s heavy tilt to short-dated bills over coupons lowers the average duration of paper held by the private sector. “Very crudely, we tend to think that liquidity is equal to an asset divided by its duration,” Howell explains. Reducing duration mechanically boosts system liquidity. That issuance profile also corrals volatility and creates powerful bid auras: banks gladly absorb bills to match deposit growth, and, increasingly, so do stablecoin issuers managing cash to T-bill ladders. “If any credit provider buys government debt—particularly short-dated stuff—it’s monetization,” Howell notes. The result, in Pal’s summary, is that policymakers have shifted from balance-sheet expansion to a more complex “total liquidity” regime, where banks, money funds, and even crypto-native entities become the delivery rails of debasement. Related Reading: Elliott Management Warns Of ‘Inevitable Crypto Collapse’ Linked To White House Support The debate over near-term Fed liquidity hinges on reserves and the Treasury General Account. The quarterly refunding blueprint has telegraphed a rebuild of the TGA toward the high-hundreds of billions. Howell is unconvinced it happens quickly or fully, because draining that much cash would risk a repo spread spike, something the Fed and Treasury appear determined to avoid. “Everything I hear… is they want to manage that liquidity. They don’t want to pull the rips on the markets,” he argues, adding that the Fed has effectively been targeting a minimum level of bank reserves since last summer’s stress-test changes. “The Federal Reserve controls bank reserves in aggregate completely,” Howell says. Even if the TGA edges higher, “you can find other ways of injecting liquidity… through Treasury QE or getting the banks to buy debt.” Global Liquidity Remains Strong The global overlay is every bit as important. Europe and Japan, as Howell frames it, are net-adding liquidity; China has moved decisively to ease via the PBoC’s toolkit—repos, outright OMOs, and medium-term lending—after a stop-start attempt in 2023. Chinese 10-year yields and term premia have started to firm from depressed levels, which, paradoxically for asset allocators, “can be good” if it signals escape from debt-deflation toward reflation and a commodity up-cycle. “If you get this big Chinese stimulus continuing… that should mean stronger commodity markets,” Howell argues, with Pal adding that a revived China would restore the missing engine of the global business cycle even as liquidity remains the dominant market driver. Japan is the outlier with a fascinating twist. Disaggregating term premia shows the selling is concentrated in the ultra-long end, not the belly or front of the curve. Howell’s inference is a duration rotation rather than a full-curve sovereign dump—“a switch from bonds into equities”—consistent with mild-inflation regimes that favor stocks. Why tolerate it? Howell floats two possibilities: Japan “actually want[s] some inflation,” which quietly erodes debt burdens, and, more speculatively, “the Japanese are being told to ease monetary policy by the US Treasury,” keeping the yen weak to pressure China. He is careful to caveat, but the pattern—persistent yen weakness despite strong equity inflows—fits the policy-coordination narrative that Pal has long emphasized. The U.K. and France, by contrast, look like textbook supply-shock sovereigns. Here, term premia have risen across the curve, reflecting heavy issuance, swelling welfare-state obligations, and weak growth. Howell highlights that the U.K.’s “underlying term premium [is] up over 100 basis points in the last 12 months,” a move that cannot be waved away as a single budget misstep. The policy menu is narrow: higher taxes, eventual spending restraint (likely only enforced by a crisis or an IMF-style conditionality), and, ultimately, some form of monetization—whether relabeled QE, regulatory loosening to stuff more gilts into bank balance sheets, or de-facto yield-curve management. “Let’s not say never for [monetization] because that’s almost inevitably what’s going to happen,” Howell says. Hovering over all of it is the dollar. On Howell’s preferred real trade-weighted lens, the dollar remains in a secular up-channel with a cyclical correction in train. Rest-of-world balance-of-payments data still show net inflows to the dollar system. Pal and Howell agree that the administration wants a weaker dollar cyclically to ease the refinancing of the roughly half of global debt that is dollar-denominated, even if the dollar remains “fundamentally strong” as the world’s primary collateral system. That’s the paradox Pal underscores: “A weaker dollar allows people to refinance their debts… That ends up being the debasement of currency, even though you get dollar inflows.” Related Reading: Crypto At Risk — JPMorgan Warns Fed Cut Could Spark Crash In that debasement regime, both men argue, long-duration, liquidity-sensitive assets lead. “You’ve got to start thinking about how to invest in the monetary inflation world,” Howell says. Pal is explicit about the winners: technology and, crucially, crypto. He frames both as living within “log trend channels” that extend higher as cycles are elongated by policy engineering. The 2021 crypto blow-off, in his telling, was a sunset cycle; this time, the extension lengthens the price runway. Gold also fits the mosaic, but with a twist in its driver set. Pal observes that gold has decoupled from real rates and is now “highly correlated with financial conditions,” poised to break from a wedge if the dollar weakens and rates ease. Crypto stablecoins occupy a pivotal, and underappreciated, role in the architecture. Howell calls them a “conduit” for public-sector credit creation, while warning that deposits migrating from banks to stablecoins can curb traditional credit growth. Pal widens the lens: stablecoins are effectively a “fractionalized eurodollar market down to individual level,” giving any household in any jurisdiction access to dollar liquidity and, by extension, democratizing the demand base for US bills. It is not lost on either man that Europe is scrambling for its own digital-money answer, even if politics likely forces a central-bank-led route. The risks now crowd the 2026–2027 window. The COVID-era terming-out of corporate and sovereign debt will need to be rolled in size at meaningfully higher coupons. Howell also flags a cash-flow squeeze emanating from the corporate capex boom: “US tech companies [are] currently investing, what is it, a billion dollars a day in IT and infrastructure… over a couple of years that’s going to take about a trillion dollars out of money markets.” That drains liquidity even as profits rise. His historical analogue is the late-1980s sequence—rising yields, commodities firming, a policy signal misread, then an abrupt liquidity turn that cracked equities. He is not forecasting a crash, but he is clear that “we’re nearer the end than… the beginning.” For now, neither man is bearish on the next three to six months. Pal’s Global Macro Investor financial conditions index points to an expansion, and Howell expects “pretty decent Fed liquidity” to persist as authorities avoid repo stress and lean on duration management. “Through year end… generally I think it’s okay,” Howell says. “We will get wiggles… but the trend is intact and continues for a while.” The operative phrase is his earlier one: steady as she goes—into the liquidity endgame. Crypto sits squarely in that cross-current, the prime expression of monetary inflation even as the calendar inexorably advances toward a refinancing test that will decide whether today’s engineered extension ends in a soft plateau or a sharper turn.

Dogecoin has been steadily rallying, increasing nearly 20% to about $0.25, after a large purchase from CleanCore Solutions. The industry giant added over 500M DOGE (worth $125M) to its holdings, boosting the token’s use and helping establish it as a reserve asset. In other news, there is growing excitement about the launch of the ETF, the first U.S. exchange-traded fund for Dogecoin. The launch, expected around next Thursday, would enable traditional investors to buy DOGE indirectly. Traders anticipate that the launch will push Dogecoin’s price toward $0.30. The launch of the ETF (DOJE) is also exciting news for traditional investors, as it will offer easier and more regulated access to Dogecoin-based projects while boosting liquidity and trading volume. Additionally, it will promote greater mainstream adoption and generate more interest in projects utilizing the Dogecoin network. The rise in institutional inflows and the upcoming launch of $DOGE ETF positively influence the overall meme coin market sentiment, paving the way for Maxi Doge’s ($MAXI) presale success. Institutional Interest and ETF Launch: A Win for Dogecoin Ecosystem Projects Recent institutional activity and the upcoming launch of the Dogecoin ETF have boosted overall sentiment in the meme coin market. These large-scale purchases confirm Dogecoin as a legitimate asset, signaling that investors see $DOGE as more than just a meme. Whale purchases add more liquidity to the market, lower entry and exit barriers for other investors, and drive upward price momentum. Additionally, whales are accumulating 280M DOGE, anticipating a sharp surge from the influx of institutional liquidity through ETFs. Institutional Buys Fuel Dogecoin Rally and Spark Meme Coin Surge According to reports from CoinMarketCap, the steady rise in Dogecoin (DOGE) prices is clear across the entire meme coin sector and in the remarkable gains of Dogecoin-based tokens. Dogecoin has surged to approximately $0.26, marking a notable 21% increase over the past week. This upward momentum has also boosted other dog-themed tokens, such as Shiba Inu, Bonk, Floki, Dogewhat, and Baby Doge Coin. These tokens have seen strong performance in the last 7 days, with gains ranging from 6% to 30%. The recent whale activity, which has shifted capital from Dogecoin into the Maxi Doge presale, is a promising sign indicating that big investors see potential upside and are pursuing higher-beta meme projects. From Dogecoin to Maxi Doge: The Next Meme Coin Moonshot? Maxi Doge ($MAXI) is the newest meme coin, inspired by a “gym-bro” high-leverage trader persona. Embracing meme culture, it is a purely utility-driven crypto that distributes staking rewards daily through smart contracts. $MAXI’s smart contract features handle presale mechanics, automate prize distributions directly on-chain, and support DeFi applications. As the ecosystem’s integrations grow, $MAXI plans to connect with larger DeFi platforms for swaps, liquidity, and partner collaborations. $MAXI is becoming one of the most anticipated meme coin presales, thanks to its organized 50-stage pricing system and attractive staking rewards. Maxi Doge has already raised $2M, with the next price increase expected at $2.3M. The project integrates with futures trading platforms, offering leverage up to 1,000x – a feature that caters to traders seeking substantial gains, albeit with heightened risk. Early participants can buy tokens at $0.000257 each and earn substantial returns once $MAXI is listed on major CEX and DEX. Besides price appreciation, $MAXI offers a staking APY of around 155% annually, with 5% of the supply set aside for staking rewards. Riding the institutional demand and Dogecoin’s broader momentum, $MAXI now leads this surge as its presale benefits from the DOGE-driven hype.

Bitcoin is back in the spotlight after reports confirmed that coins untouched since 2012 have been moved for the first time. Related Reading: Institutional Adoption Rises: 21X Brings Chainlink Into Europe’s Tokenized Securities Market The reactivation of an old wallet came at a moment when the market is already buzzing with strong ETF inflows and record levels of stablecoin liquidity. Wallet Reactivates After 13 Years According to Onchain Lens, the address that first received coins on November 26, 2012, moved 132.03 BTC in a single transaction. The transfer was worth about $15 million at current prices. The same wallet also sent five BTC to the Kraken exchange. After those moves, it still holds 308 BTC — a stash now valued at nearly $35 million. In total, the address once controlled 444 BTC, which the report places at more than $50 million combined. A dormant whale woke-up after 13 years, moved 132.03 $BTC ($15.06M) to a new address and depositing 5 $BTC into #Kraken. The wallet still holds 307.79 $BTC ($35M). It has received these $BTC for just $5,437 at $12.22https://t.co/mhCNYQs7cA pic.twitter.com/L0ltIwu6Oe — Onchain Lens (@OnchainLens) September 11, 2025 Early Holder Made A Tiny Bet That Paid Off Based on reports, the coins were originally bought when Bitcoin traded at about $12.22 per coin. The wallet’s total purchase cost was only $5,435. That original outlay has turned into massive gains. The current math shows a profit in the ballpark of $15.60 million on that small initial buy. Simple numbers like that help explain why stories about old wallets get attention. Bitcoin Price And Market Momentum Bitcoin has pulled back above the $116,000 mark. Data from Coingecko show BTC trading at $116,083, a daily move of 0.25% and up 3% over the past week. The market still remembers August 14, 2025, when BTC hit an all-time high of $124,450. Those price swings are part of the backdrop for why a whale moving coins draws extra interest now. Institutional Flows Pick Up Data shows that Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded $757 million in inflows on Wednesday. That is the largest single-day number since July 17 and extends a three-day streak of positive flows. The steady inflows suggest bigger players are adding exposure, or at least reallocating capital into the market. Total crypto market cap at $3.95 trillion on the daily chart: TradingView Stablecoin Reserves Hit Records Meanwhile, reports from CryptoQuant indicate Binance saw its largest net stablecoin inflow of the year on Monday, a little over $6 billion. Binance’s stablecoin reserves are reported to be near $40 billion, while aggregate stablecoin holdings across exchanges hit about $70 billion last week.
