My colleagues and I remain squarely focused on achieving our dual mandate goals of maximum employment and stable prices for the benefit of the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>When we look at the speech details, it\u2019s clear the 25 bps cut was meant to cushion a cooling labor environment without signaling a full-blown easing cycle. This Federal Reserve decision still matters for us in crypto, since lower rates reduce borrowing costs for blockchain startups and improve liquidity conditions for institutional strategies.<\/p>\n<p>The FOMC also announced that it will begin buying $40 billion in short-term Treasuries on December 12. Jerome Powell emphasized these purchases are \u201csolely for the purpose of maintaining an ample supply of reserves,\u201d a distinction that reinforces his hawkish insistence that this is not a return to quantitative easing. Yet, added liquidity often flows into high-beta assets, tightening the gap between reserve management and crypto momentum.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">FOMC overall better than expected.<\/p>\n<p>Still letting the charts and numbers do the talking.
