Powell hints at more rate cuts<\/h2>\n

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell signaled Tuesday that the US central bank is nearing the end of its balance sheet reduction program and is preparing for potential rate cuts as the labor market weakens.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the National Association for Business Economics conference, Powell said<\/a> the Fed may soon stop its \u201cquantitative tightening\u201d process, noting that reserves are \u201csomewhat above the level\u201d consistent with ample liquidity. <\/p>\n

\u201cAn October rate cut will have markets taking flight, with crypto and ETFs seeing liquidity flow and sharper moves,\u201d Vincent Liu, chief investment officer of the Taiwan-based company Kronos Research, told Cointelegraph.<\/p>\n

\u201cExpect digital assets to feel the lift as capital seeks efficiency in a softer rate environment,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n

Crypto products stay resilient amid recent crash<\/h2>\n

As Cointelegraph reported, crypto investment products showed strong resilience during last week\u2019s market turbulence, recording $3.17 billion in inflows<\/a> despite a major flash crash triggered by renewed US-China tariff tensions<\/a>, according to CoinShares.<\/p>\n

CoinShares said Monday that last Friday\u2019s panic led to only $159 million in outflows, even as $20 billion in positions<\/a> were liquidated across exchanges. The resilience helped push total inflows for 2025 to $48.7 billion, already surpassing last year\u2019s total.<\/p>\n
