Macro, Geopolitics & Crypto: A Wild Week in Markets
The biggest market moves this week had little to do with crypto itself. Instead, macroeconomic policies and geopolitical tensions dominated headlines, sending ripples across all asset classes, including Bitcoin and gold.
🔹 Federal Reserve Signals End of QT?
The Fed kept rates steady but made a key change to its balance sheet policy—cutting Treasury redemption caps from $25B to $5B. This suggests that quantitative tightening (QT) is slowing, increasing speculation about a return to quantitative easing (QE).
🔹 Gold Hits New All-Time Highs
Uncertainty fueled gold’s surge past $3,038/oz. Middle East conflicts, U.S.-Iran tensions, and Trump’s trade policies all contributed. Even Russia-Ukraine peace talks remain fragile.
🔹 Crypto’s Rollercoaster
MicroStrategy added a tiny 0.02% to its Bitcoin holdings and got roasted for it.
Ripple secured a major win as the SEC officially dropped its lawsuit, sparking optimism for an XRP ETF.
Solana’s viral (and cringeworthy) ad got deleted after backlash.
💭 Market Takeaway
Macro and geopolitics are driving the financial landscape more than ever, and crypto is caught in the storm. Investors should stay vigilant as global events unfold.
