US Rate Cuts to Promote Greater Market Liquidity
Speaking on their regular Tapping into Crypto podcast, the Aussie hosts discussed all things crypto – and dove into why the next market cycle could captivate the community. The biggest macroeconomic news of the week is the US Fed’s decision to cut rates by 50bps.
This has already boosted the crypto market, with the overall cap rising by 2% since the decision was made public. But the analysts believe this surge could be just the beginning.
One of the key building blocks as to how we get the markets to move again is liquidity….[The US rate drop] will be the first since 2020…and seeing a shift in the cost of money basically will then influence growth for the next…business cycle.
Pav Hundal The duo also mention how the current market volatility is comparable to the same time last year, which was followed by a near six-month rally into a Bitcoin all-time high. Hundal notes that the CoinMarketCap Fear and Greed Index is reading “Fear”, which is typically a solid indicator of a potential trend reversal.
Crypto Community Gearing up for Several Major Events in October
The podcast hosts also discuss the large number of significant crypto events poised to take place throughout the next four to six weeks.
Perhaps the most important, for now, will be the Solana Breakpoint conference – the community’s biggest annual event, chock-full of high-profile guest speakers including…Iggy Azalea…

Possibly of greater relevance to the crypto industry is the attendance of payment giants like Visa and PayPal, as well as devs from the popular Jupiter decentralised exchange.
Keep a close eye on this one because we might see some big announcements coming from the likes of Jupiter and Solana projects.
Ted Coaldrake Solana isn’t the only community hosting a major event, with October set to see several large-cap altcoins follow suit.
- XRP will host “Ripple Swell”
- Stellar (XLM) will feature at Meridian 2024
- Avalanche (AVAX) is hosting its own summit
- Cosmos (ATOM) will present the Cosmoverse
- Cardano (ADA) is hosting the Cardano Summit
- And Chainlink (LINK) will appear at SmartCon
This string of events could lead to a slew of exciting announcements for the industry, and when paired with greater market liquidity, could be the turning point for altcoin season to really take shape.
