The European Central Bank (ECB) is expected to cut interest rates on Thursday to 2.65%, continuing its easing from a 4.5% peak amid increased volatility in bond markets. The expected easing comes as markets reprice at least three Fed rate cuts for 2025 and Germany and China take the fiscal easing route to shore up their respective economies. In other words, the ECB’s impending easing could only add to the ongoing global liquidity easing, offering bullish cues to risk assets, including cryptocurrencies. “Overall, liquidity conditions are supportive and rising, to keep risk and crypto pushing higher, despite this recent correction…
This is a segment from the Empire newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe. So much has been made of the underperformance of ETH. Turns out, SOL is on track to match it almost to a tee. A few weeks back, I pointed out that ETH is speedrunning the Intel stock chart — doing what Intel has done over the past 50 years in about a decade. Here’s another in the series: The SOL/BTC ratio is on an almost identical path to the ETH/BTC ratio. Below plots the price of both ETH (green) and SOL (purple) in terms of BTC (their…
