About this episode
Crypto markets have gone through a broad repricing as doubts about AI ROI, the unwind of the momentum trade, and renewed uncertainty around the December FOMC meeting collide. We unpack why this macro mix matters more than usual: a prolonged government shutdown has jeopardized October 2025 releases, adding to uncertainty about what comes next. That said, we think the signal from small business earnings still points to cuts. But the longer-time-frame trend reduces the room for speculation, making it hard to pick strong altcoin names. Should investors buy/hold/sell here? Is this the capitulation we were waiting for, or will there be a further purge? Tune in to hear our latest thoughts.
