Fed Cuts Rates but Stays Cautious
The Federal Reserve lowered interest rates by 0.25% on October 29, 2025 — its second cut this year — bringing rates to around 3.75%–4.00%. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said the move aims to support a softening labor market but warned that more cuts are not guaranteed. The Fed also announced it will end its balance-sheet reduction in December. Markets initially rose but eased after Powell’s cautious comments, reflecting uncertainty amid limited economic data due to the ongoing government shutdown.
Understanding the Fed’s Balance Sheet – Key Overview
In his October 14, 2025 speech, Fed Chair Jerome Powell explained the importance of the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet in guiding monetary policy. He highlighted that the Fed now operates under an “ample reserves” system—maintaining sufficient liquidity to manage rates effectively. Powell noted progress in reducing the balance sheet from its pandemic peak, aiming for a level that is “ample but not excessive.”
He also addressed the current outlook: a cooling labor market, inflation still above target, and data delays from the government shutdown. Powell stressed that future policy decisions will be made meeting by meeting, signaling flexibility as the Fed balances growth and inflation risks.

This one could pour fuel on the fire, drawing in institutions who've been on the sidelines. But have you faced a similar situation where good news led to unexpected volatility?
For investors, the play is clear: stay nimble. Bolster your BTC and ETH holdings for stability, eye stablecoins for safe harbors if things get choppy, and watch for ETF inflows that could supercharge the rally.
