🌶️ Fed cuts the rates by 50bps!
Revolut to launch its crypto stablecoin
So finally we got the rates cut. This can be an extra fuel to the bull market, however, the markets don’t seem to move drastically. Maybe as many predicted, this 50bps cut is already priced in. Or it might lag a bit. Besides that, we can expect more interest rate cuts this year, Powell said.
However, not everyone is so bullish, Arthur Hayes warns that today’s slice down could be disastrous. Other analytics claim that the Fed is already too late and a crisis is waiting for us already. But historically, these rate cuts impacted crypto prices to go up mostly. I will remain positive and if no black swan events happen anytime soon, I believe crypto could perform very well in the near future.
Or this… 🫢
The Fed just cut by 50BPS.
Interestingly, on Sept 18, 2007, they also cut by 50BPS.
