Manage episode 417060609 series 2981868
Join Matt and Nick as they discuss the price volatility in the crypto market; the U.S. central bank’s latest rate decision; the prison sentencing of Binance’s co-founder; weakening demand for spot Bitcoin ETFs; EigenLayer controversy; altcoin updates; and more.
Key Takeaways
- The crypto market slid further, with BTC declining to as low as $56,500 for the first time since late January. Standard correction as far as crypto bull markets go.
- The U.S. central bank’s policy update was largely in line with market expectations. The likelihood of a rate cut by September increased on the back of weaker-than-expected jobs data on Friday.
- Binance’s co-founder and former CEO was sentenced to four months in prison. Risks associated with Binance have decreased significantly in the past year.
- Demand for spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. continued to weaken. Accessibility to these ETFs should only increase in the months ahead.
- Among the altcoin updates covered: EigenLayer airdrop controversy; Telegram Open Network (TON) momentum; and Aave V4 plans.
