Markets Hold Their Breath Ahead of Fed Rate Decision as Tokenized U.S. Stocks Hit Record $3.7 Billion
I. Fed Meeting Takes Center Stage Globally as Risk Assets Face a Critical Choice
On October 28, global financial markets will reach the most important moment of the month: the Federal Open Market Committee will announce its latest interest rate decision. Markets broadly expect the Fed to leave the federal funds rate unchanged at 3.75% to 4%, with the probability of a hold as high as 90%. However, what is really weighing on investors’ minds is not the decision itself, but the Fed’s guidance on the future path of monetary policy.
Recent U.S. economic data has been strong, inflation has cooled more slowly, and some Fed officials have sent hawkish signals, hinting that rates could rise again in December. This outlook has put pressure on risk assets. Bitcoin has been consolidating around $81,000, while Bitcoin outflows from exchanges have reached a five-week high, with about 15,000 BTC withdrawn to cold wallets—an indication that large holders are reducing their risk exposure. The market sees $80,000 as a key support level, and a break below it could trigger a broader sell-off.
II. Tokenized U.S. Stocks Surpass $3.75 Billion as the RWA Sector Accelerates
At the frontier where traditional finance and crypto converge, a milestone figure is sending ripples through the industry. The total supply of tokenized stocks has surpassed $3.75 billion, covering more than 1,500 assets. The total market capitalization of tokenized ETFs has topped $1.1 billion, with Ondo leading the sector at $632 million. Ondo has listed 15 tokenized stocks and ETFs on Robinhood Chain and integrated them with Uniswap v4 liquidity pools, bringing the vision of round-the-clock trading closer to reality.
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has publicly said that every asset class is moving on-chain, a view now being borne out by the data. Tokenized U.S. stocks not only give traditional investors lower-barrier access to the U.S. stock market, but also allow crypto users around the world to trade U.S. equities 24 hours a day, overcoming the limits of traditional trading hours. Multiple tokenized U.S. stocks, including Moderna and Linde, are now available on BSC and Ethereum, and liquidity continues to improve.
III. AI Race Among Tech Giants Heats Up as Microsoft and Google Face Market Scrutiny
Trending topics on Binance Square show that whether Microsoft can deliver on its AI promises and whether Google can redefine its core business are currently the two most-discussed issues. The Microsoft topic has generated more than 2,300 posts and nearly 300,000 views, with clear bullish sentiment in the community and far more bullish than bearish votes. The market has high expectations for Microsoft’s AI investments. Growth in AI revenue from Azure cloud services, the commercialization of Copilot products, and upcoming earnings results will all be key indicators of the effectiveness of Microsoft’s AI strategy.
For Google, community discussions are focused on the challenges of transforming its search business in the AI era. As generative AI tools become more widespread, the traditional search model faces disruptive pressure, and Google needs to make progress across several fronts, including AI search, cloud computing, and autonomous driving. The market is reassessing how to value tech giants: AI is no longer just a story, but a hard measure of capability that must be proven through revenue and profits.
IV. Early Signs of Institutional Money Returning as Bitcoin ETFs See $176 Million in Daily Net Inflows
After recording total outflows of $774 million over the previous two days, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw daily net inflows of $176 million on October 27. BlackRock’s IBIT led the way with $152 million. IBIT’s cumulative net inflows have reached $66.4 billion, demonstrating strong long-term institutional demand.
Analysts note that while the daily inflow remains modest compared with the earlier outflows, two consecutive days of returning capital suggest institutional sentiment is stabilizing. Ahead of the Fed’s decision, institutional fund flows will be an important barometer of the market’s near-term direction. Investors should closely monitor the market’s reaction after the decision, manage their positions prudently, and guard against volatility.
