The Federal Reserve finally trimmed rates—and bitcoin basically yawned, according to Coinshares’ Head of Research James Butterfill, who says traders want proof this is a real pivot, not a polite tap on the brakes. Butterfill: Rate Cut Hype Fades; Bitcoin Waits for Real Pivot Signal Bitcoin (BTC) has treaded water for three months while volatility has squeezed to roughly 26%, a far cry from the fireworks that usually follow easing policy.

The 25 basis point interest rate cut recently implemented by the FED has had a great impact on global markets, while also bringing with it concerns, particularly regarding cryptocurrency markets. Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Macro Strategist Mike McGlone argued on the “Milk Road Macro” podcast that markets are living in a “fantasy world” and that investors are overweighting risky assets. McGlone pointed out that Fed interest rate cuts are not always a positive signal for stocks, citing the more than 50% declines in the S&P 500 following interest rate cuts in 2001 and 2007. The strategist, who specifically categorizes cryptocurrencies as…

The stock had soared 2,800% since the bitcoin buying spree began. But now, the numbers are heading the wrong way, and confidence in the Strategy model is starting to crack. Other companies that copied Saylor’s approach are bleeding harder. Japanese hotel operator Metaplanet has lost 36% in the…

Sergey Nazarov recently stated that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is shifting its stance on the crypto market. He views tokenization as the bridge between crypto and real-economy growth, but there’s still work to do in turning that potential into reality. Joe Biden was the 46th president of the United States of America. Under his rule, and that of Gary Gensler as Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the cryptocurrency industry was subject to constant scrutiny, lawsuits, and functional silos due to regulatory misalignment. Following the SEC’s rollout of 23 proposed rules designed to streamline the tokenization…
