Fed Rate Cut Decision LIVE: Market Reactions and Macro Analysis for Crypto and TradFi
In this special Crypto 101 Podcast episode, Tevo and Brian react live to the Federal Reserve’s 25-basis-point rate cut, analyzing how markets, Bitcoin, and macro trends respond. They discuss the Fed’s policy tone, China–US tariff de-escalation, and how easing could spark a Q4 crypto rally led by Bitcoin’s strength relative to gold. The duo dives into major crypto stories — Solana ETF’s record debut, banks’ accelerating crypto adoption, and IBM’s surprising entry into digital-asset custody — while fielding community reactions.
The show closes with post-Fed analysis, market overreactions, and reflections on AI, layoffs, and whether today’s boom resembles the dot-com bubble. If you DO NOT want to listen to speech SKIP 30 min – 60 min mark.
