**Bitwise Chief Investment Officer: A large amount of funds are looking out of the market, waiting to enter after the risk of US cryptocurrency regulation is lifted**

Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan stated that recent comments by US Vice President Harris on cryptocurrency indicate that if regulators give the green light, investors will flock to the digital asset market.

On Monday, Harris promised to support a regulatory framework protecting black investment and cryptocurrency ownership. Hougan pointed out in a blog post that Harris' proposal coincided with a 5% increase in <a  rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"  href="/price/bitcoin-btc" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Bitcoin</a> prices on Monday, with $555.8 million flowing into Bitcoin spot ETFs, the largest inflow since June 4.

He added, “Regardless of what Harris said, the price trend of the day tells me that there are many funds on the sidelines waiting to clear the alarm and enter the market.”

## Market Trends: REEF dropped 70%, Altcoins generally adjusted
### Market Hotspots
The storage concept token STORJ has surged by over 25%, and the storage sector token has been a hot topic in the past few rounds of market trends, often emerging as an independent market;

New public chain projects such as SUI and SAGA have experienced a significant drop, with on-chain data showing that addresses holding $1 billion in SUI continue to sell, which the community believes is Sui's official coin-selling behavior;

The meme project DEEP on the chain has surged threefold. DEEP is the aggregation trading platform of Sui Chain and has now been launched on Gate.io.

### Mainstream Coins
Once approaching $68,000, BTC quickly fell back to $65,000, and then returned to above $67,500. BTC buying was strong, and ETF funds continued to <a  rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"  href="/price/flow-flow" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">flow</a> in;

ETH performance lags behind BTC, still consolidating around $2,600, with small outflows from ETH ETFs;

Altcoins generally fell, with the early market leader token REEF plummeting by 70% within the day, most of them entering the adjustment range.

## Macroeconomics: The three major US stock indices collectively closed lower, and global market uncertainty increased
The three major indexes of the US stock market collectively closed down, with the S&P 500 index falling 0.76% to 5,815.26 points; The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.75% to 42,740.42 points; The Nasdaq index fell 1.01% to 18,315.59 points. The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield is 4.03%, while the 2-year Treasury yield, most sensitive to the Federal Reserve policy rate, is 3.95%. The US stock market closed lower on Tuesday (October 15th), mainly due to the unexpected release of the third quarter financial report by Dutch lithography machine giant ASML, which fell short of expectations.

On the news front, North Korea claimed that due to South Korea's provocative actions, more than 1.4 million youth league cadres and young students across the country have signed up to join or rejoin the military, exacerbating market uncertainty. In addition, Israeli officials have stated that they may strike Iranian military bases or government buildings, further increasing tensions in the Middle East.

Overall, the global market has become more uncertain, and investors have become more cautious about holding risky assets. In this context, safe-haven assets such as gold are favored, and international precious metal futures generally close higher. Market participants closely monitor the development of geopolitical situations and changes in global economic data to make corresponding investment decisions.
