Crypto Lags Stocks & Gold: Fed Cut Priced, Institutions Hedge Exposure #78
Season 1 Episode 78
Crypto markets lag behind soaring equities and gold as weak U.S. jobs data (22K print, June revised to -13K) fully prices in a September Fed rate cut. Hosts Imran Lakha (Options Insight) and David Brickell (FRNT), joined by Mark Hiriart (ZeroCap), discuss suppressed crypto volatility (Bitcoin vol in low 30s) amid a narrow range, with persistent put skew driven by institutional hedging demand. Inflation data looms as the Fed enters blackout, but a supportive macro environment—falling yields, lower oil prices, and global rate cuts—signals bullish tailwinds for Bitcoin and altcoins like Ethereum and Solana. They explore ZeroCap’s institutional focus and the growing OTC derivatives market, predicting a Bitcoin rally to 150K post-consolidation. Like and subscribe for more!
