The entire crypto market is now bracing for one of the most important macro events of the year — the Federal Reserve’s December 9–10 meeting. This is the crossroads moment. One decision from Jerome Powell will determine whether Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and the broader crypto market get relief… or more pain. In this deep-dive episode, we break down why the Fed is suddenly split, how inflation, labour data, and delayed economic reports have boxed policymakers into a corner, and what each possible scenario — a rate cut, a hold, or a hawkish surprise — means for the markets. We explore how previous Fed pivots triggered major crypto moves, how ETFs and institutional flows react to rate changes, and why liquidity cycles matter more than narratives right now. We also include real analyst insights from Mark Newton, Mohamed El-Erian, Raoul Pal, and others — giving you the clearest picture possible heading into the December decision. Before we begin, a huge thank-you to everyone leaving five-star ratings. If we hit 200 ratings before Christmas, two listeners will each receive 50 XRP. If you’ve already rated the show, just comment “done” so we can include you. This is the macro moment the whole market is watching. Let’s get into it — and we’ll see you at the top.
