77% chance of rate HIKE before 2027 despite July JOLTS coming in weak
Market pricing in hawkish Fed even as labor cools. Either: • Inflation fears still running hot • Growth data stronger than headline suggests • Powell's got no choice but to stay tight
This kills the "rates down = risk-on" narrative everyone's been riding. If you're long alts expecting easy money, might want to reassess.
Bonds saying one thing, equities another. Crypto caught in the middle. Watch DXY.
$BTC eyeing $90K next? Clarity might finally be here for the bulls. If you're not positioned yet, you're already late. Watch the momentum—this could be the setup we've been waiting for. $90K is not a meme anymore.
SEC just dropped a proposal to modernize transfer-agent rules for the digital age.
What's changing: - Electronic recordkeeping gets official recognition - Blockchain tech can now be used for securities offerings - Share transfers can happen on-chain
This is huge for tokenized securities and RWAs. The regulatory framework is finally catching up to what's already happening on-chain.
Bullish for projects building compliant tokenization infrastructure. The floodgates for institutional capital into crypto rails just cracked open a bit more.
Ray Dalio calling out the obvious: US sanctions on Iran traders = accelerating de-dollarization.
Every new sanctions package pushes more countries toward BRICS settlements, $BTC, and bypassing SWIFT. The petrodollar's grip is loosening in real-time.
This isn't theory anymore. It's policy forcing the world to find alternatives. Watch how fast central banks stack gold and crypto adoption spikes in sanctioned regions.
US global power isn't collapsing overnight, but the cracks are widening. And crypto thrives in the cracks.
Swan Bitcoin CEO dropping a spicy take: $BTC would actually be HIGHER right now if spot ETFs never launched in 2024.
Counternarrative to all the "institutional adoption" hopium. ETFs brought liquidity but also brought tradfi's paper hands and regulatory capture. The irony is real.
Makes you wonder if we traded short-term price action for long-term structural weakness. Food for thought.
Crypto's back from the dead but the actual wins? Not what the OGs dreamed of.
10 years of building and we're asking: was it worth it?
The narrative shifted. We wanted financial freedom and decentralization. What we got: institutional adoption, ETFs, and tokenized everything.
Not saying it's bad. Just different. The infrastructure's there. The rails are built. But are we solving the problems we set out to fix or just recreating TradFi with extra steps?
The market pumps. VCs get richer. Retail still gets rekt.
Maybe the real alpha was the ponzis we made along the way.
Fed Governor Barr just hinted at rate hikes if inflation doesn't chill soon 👀
This is the macro setup everyone's ignoring while chasing memecoins. If rates go up, liquidity dries up fast. Risk-on assets (including crypto) get hit first.
Watch $BTC correlation to TradFi. If DXY pumps and bonds dump, we're in for choppy waters. Position accordingly.
Cory Klippsten weighs in on what's next for Bitcoin. Market structure looking interesting here—are we setting up for a breakout or just another fakeout?
