DXY Index (TradingView)
What to know:
- The U.S. dollar index (DXY) has fallen to a seven week low following the Fed's rate cut on Wednesday.
- Precious metals are soaring and bond yields are falling.
- Bitcoin remains stuck in a downtrend, falling back below $90,000 after the briefest of rallies.
All things being equal, easier Fed monetary policy tends to lead to a weaker U.S. dollar, falling bond yields, rising precious metals prices and gains for risk assets, bitcoin BTC$90,003.93 and crypto among them.
Following the Fed's rate cut yesterday, the dollar is indeed weaker — the DXY falling to a seven-week low — precious metals are sharply higher, with silver touching a new record of $64 per ounce, and the 10-year Treasury yield has pulled back to 4.12% from 4.20%.

In what's become a familiar story, though, crypto is not participating. After (very) briefly rallying above $94,000 in the minutes following the rate cut, bitcoin BTC$90,003.93 has slumped to $89,400, now down 3% over the past 24 hours. Ether ETH$3,191.04 is down 5.5%, while XRP and solana slide closer to 4%.
Possibly souring the mood in crypto are declining AI-related names following Oracle's (ORCL) disappointing quarterly earnings released last night. Oracle has plunged 14% on Thursday, pulling down familiar names like Nvidia, AMD and Broadcom. The Nasdaq is lower by 1.2%.
Bitcoin mining stocks — many of whom have pivoted business models to focus instead on AI infrastructure — are lower alongside: Hut 8 (HUT), Iren (IREN), Cipher (CIFR) and Riot Platforms (RIOT) are among those with losses in the 5%-6% range.
Leading bitcoin treasury player Strategy (MSTR) is off by 6.4%, while crypto exchange Coinbase (COIN) is down 5%. Robinhood (HOOD) is lower by 8.3% after a November update showed a disappointing slump in crypto trading volumes.

Top Solana Treasury Firm Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Capital Raise To Buy More SOL ⋆ ZyCrypto
The post Top Solana Treasury Firm Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Capital Raise To Buy More SOL ⋆ ZyCrypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Advertisement     Forward Industries, the largest publicly traded Solana treasury company, has filed a $4 billion at-the-market (ATM) equity offering program with the U.S. SEC to raise more capital for additional SOL accumulation. Forward Strategies Doubles Down On Solana Strategy In a Wednesday press release, Forward Industries revealed that the 4 billion ATM equity offering program will allow the company to issue and sell common stock via Cantor Fitzgerald under a sales agreement dated Sept. 16, 2025. Forward said proceeds will go toward “general corporate purposes,” including the pursuit of its Solana balance sheet and purchases of income-generating assets. The sales of the shares are covered by an automatic shelf registration statement filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission that is already effective – meaning the shares will be tradable once they’re sold. An automatic shelf registration allows certain publicly listed companies to raise capital with flexibility swiftly. Kyle Samani, Forward’s chairman, astutely described the ATM offering as “a flexible and efficient mechanism” to raise and deploy capital for the company’s Solana strategy and bolster its balance sheet. Advertisement   Though the maximum amount is listed as $4 billion, the firm indicated that sales may or may not occur depending on existing market conditions. “The ATM Program enhances our ability to continue scaling that position, strengthen our balance sheet, and pursue growth initiatives in alignment with our long-term vision,” Samani said. Forward Industries kicked off its Solana treasury strategy on Sept. 8. The Wednesday S-3 form follows Forward’s $1.65 billion private investment in public equity that closed last week, led by crypto heavyweights like Galaxy Digital, Jump Crypto, and Multicoin Capital. The company started deploying that capital this week, announcing it snatched up 6.8 million SOL for approximately $1.58 billion at an average price of $232…
