IT'S FOMC DAY! HERE'S WHAT TO EXPECT 🧐 |
Today is investors' least favorite day of the month…FOMC day. |
|
Ok, you got me. That isn't really what it stands for… |
FOMC = the Federal Open Market Committee. They're the group in charge of making monetary decisions to help take pressure off the economy. |
They come together 8 times a year and figure out 3 main things: |
|
Today, they make their decision on interest rates - lower them, keep them the same, or raise them. |
According to the CME FedWatch Tool (a website that predicts interest rate decisions), there's a… |
|
Most experts believe interest rates will stay the same, but all eyes will be on Jerome Powell's post-game speech. |
His tone, and any indication of future rate cuts, will determine how the markets react. |
(Remember: Investors react to perception, not results). |
Here's a quick cheat sheet to scribble on your hand: |
A/ If interest rates stay THE SAME, Powell's speech will likely determine price movement. Hawkish speech = prices probably go down. Bullish speech = prices probably go up. |
B/ If interest rates go UP, prices likely go DOWN. Markets could blow up (not in a good way) if rates get hiked when 99.9% of people didn't expect it. |
Buckle up Roaders, things could get rocky today. |
|
| | It's 2024. BTC to 65k, ETH to 4k, and THC is mooning! | But here's something you probably don't know… | You can get federally legal THC mailed right to your door. We're living in a world where you don't have to shake down your nephew or meet up with that sketchy friend from college to get some flower. | Mood is here to save the day. | Working with some of America's best farms, they offer high-quality cannabis flower, gummies, and vapes so you can get all the products you want at a great price. | Get with the times — ordering THC is as simple as ordering groceries. | Try it now and get 20% off using code: XYZCODE | |

THE BLOCKCHAIN WAR IS HEATING UP 🔥 |
There's a new blockchain taking crypto by storm: Base. |
It's Coinbase's Layer 2. And over the last week, it has gained… *checks notes*... 800K+ new users. |
|
So, why are so many people flocking to Base? |
Cheap transactions. Gas fees on Layer 2's (like Base) have plummeted to less than $0.01 since the Ethereum upgrade. Big-name artists/creators are starting to launch new projects on it. For example, XCOPY (a well-known NFT artist) dropped a new NFT collection yesterday. It got over 1M mints in 24 hours. Memecoins. Because transactions are super cheap and fast, Base is witnessing its own 'memecoin mania' (similar to Solana). A handful of them are up 100%-400% over the last day.

Watch out! The Blockchain War is getting spicier than the wings on 'Hot Ones.' |

BLACKROCK IS LAUNCHING A TOKENIZED ASSET FUND 👀 |
BlackRock dropped a bomb yesterday… the $9T investment behemoth announced it's launching a new tokenized asset fund. |
Here's everything you need to know: |
BlackRock is partnering up with Securitize, an asset tokenization firm, to launch it. It's called the USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (0/10 for creativity, btw). It isn't clear what assets the fund will be 'tokenizing', but many are speculating it could be real-world assets (RWAs). The fund will be tokenized on the Ethereum blockchain. Blockchain sleuths pointed out that BlackRock sent $100M in USDC to seed the fund yesterday. There will be a $100,000 minimum investment. #BigBallersOnly
|
Why this matters: BlackRock is the world's largest asset manager and has been leading the way for institutional crypto adoption. |
Now it has its eyes on a new mission… tokenize everything. Larry Fink (BlackRock's CEO) has even gone on a media tour to talk all about it. |
Stocks, governments bond, you name it - BlackRock wants to tokenize it. |
Well, it looks like the trillion-dollar asset manager just took its first big step in that direction. |
Funny side note: Crypto degens have been sending a ton of memecoins to BlackRock's address since it became public… |
Including tokens like Shiba Inu, Pepe, Jesus Coin, and HarryPotterObamaSonic10Inu (yes, it's a real coin). |
|
The cherry on top? Some of them were sent from a wallet address named "big-d*ck-fink.eth" (named after BlackRock's CEO). |
Never change, crypto. Never change 😂 |

AI-related tokens are rallying while the rest of the market bleeds. Only two AI-related tokens out of the top ten ranked by market cap have experienced slight retracements. |
Ledger announced it's launching its new hardware wallet "very soon." The new Ledger Stax will roughly be the size of a credit card and will support a wide range of tokens - including BTC, ETH, SOL, and NFTs. |
Polygon Labs, King River Capital, and Immutable are teaming up to launch a new $100M gaming fund. The Inevitable Games Fund (IGF) has already identified a few investment opportunities - including Pixelmon and Guild of Guardians. |
Solana has passed Ethereum in DEX trading volume over the last week. Solana-based decentralized exchanges (DEX) have seen a 67% increase in volume over the last week. |
Grayscale added ETH staking to its ETH ETF application. The move comes after Fidelity made the same update in its application earlier this week. |
BTC ETFs saw their biggest day of outflows earlier this week. On Tuesday, U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs experienced $326.2 million in outflows, the largest since their debut. |
