Fed’s first post-shutdown decision

The Federal Reserve’s two-day Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting kicks off on the 29th of October, with markets focused on whether policymakers will deliver a 25 basis point rate cut.

This is the first Fed gathering since the U.S. government shutdown, triggered by partisan gridlock over health insurance funding.

Investors are largely pricing in a rate reduction, which would bring the federal funds rate down from 4%-4.25%, the level set after the previous 25 bps cut on the 17th of September.

A move to ease policy could inject fresh liquidity into the crypto market. David Hernandez, Crypto Investment Specialist at 21Shares, told AMBCrypto,

He added,

More upside for Bitcoin

Following rising expectations of a Fed rate cut, analysts view Bitcoin’s recent breakout as a key turning point.

Market expert Michael van de Poppe called the $112,000 mark a “crucial resistance zone.” Once Bitcoin broke through it, he said, the bull market was clearly still intact.

Moreover, he expected a short pullback before the FOMC meeting, after which Bitcoin could aim for a new all-time high in November.

Adding to the optimism, on-chain data showed that whale 0x960B deposited 3.72 million USDC into Hyperliquid [HYPE] in the past nine hours. Afterward, the whale opened 15x leveraged longs.

This involves $27.7 million invested in 240 BTC and $20.3 million in 4,874 Ethereum [ETH], signaling a surge in investor confidence ahead of the Federal Reserve’s upcoming decision.

Hernandez noted, 

Looking ahead, Hernandez expects Bitcoin to potentially surpass its previous $125,000 high by year-end, driven by growing institutional demand and improving macroeconomic conditions.

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach

The post UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The UK and US are reportedly preparing to deepen cooperation on digital assets, with Britain looking to copy the Trump administration’s crypto-friendly stance in a bid to boost innovation.  UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent discussed on Tuesday how the two nations could strengthen their coordination on crypto, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.  The discussions also involved representatives from crypto companies, including Coinbase, Circle Internet Group and Ripple, with executives from the Bank of America, Barclays and Citi also attending, according to the report. The agreement was made “last-minute” after crypto advocacy groups urged the UK government on Thursday to adopt a more open stance toward the industry, claiming its cautious approach to the sector has left the country lagging in innovation and policy.  Source: Rachel Reeves Deal to include stablecoins, look to unlock adoption Any deal between the countries is likely to include stablecoins, the Financial Times reported, an area of crypto that US President Donald Trump made a policy priority and in which his family has significant business interests. The Financial Times reported on Monday that UK crypto advocacy groups also slammed the Bank of England’s proposal to limit individual stablecoin holdings to between 10,000 British pounds ($13,650) and 20,000 pounds ($27,300), claiming it would be difficult and expensive to implement. UK banks appear to have slowed adoption too, with around 40% of 2,000 recently surveyed crypto investors saying that their banks had either blocked or delayed a payment to a crypto provider.  Many of these actions have been linked to concerns over volatility, fraud and scams. The UK has made some progress on crypto regulation recently, proposing a framework in May that would see crypto exchanges, dealers, and agents treated similarly to traditional finance firms, with…
