FBS Analysts Link Fed Signals to a Potential Crypto Comeback
FBS, a leading global broker, has published a new expert analysis exploring how macroeconomic shifts, especially the normalization of the US Treasury yield curve, may create growth opportunities for the crypto market in 2025.
After two years of an inverted yield curve — a widely watched recession signal — the spread between the 10-year and 2-year US Treasury bond yields is beginning to rebound. FBS analysts believe this development could mark a turning point for investor sentiment and market liquidity, with digital assets among the first to benefit.
Historically, yield curve normalization coincides with expectations of interest rate cuts, as central banks prepare to support slowing economies. In the current cycle, declining inflation and rising political pressure on the Federal Reserve are fueling anticipation of a move toward lower interest rates. This is already reflected in market pricing, and crypto markets are paying attention.
'Periods of easing monetary policy have often been strong catalysts for digital assets,' the FBS team explains. 'We saw that clearly in 2020, when Bitcoin surged over 500% following the Fed's rate cuts. As inflation slows and investor confidence returns, crypto may be entering a new cycle of growth.'
The report highlights that Bitcoin has formed a bullish technical pattern — a cup and handle, with a key resistance level at $105 000. A breakout could open the door to a rally toward $157 000, or even $240 000. At the same time, altcoins are showing signs of life, with the Altcoin Season Index pointing to a possible momentum shift away from Bitcoin dominance.
While short-term volatility remains a risk, FBS analysts emphasize that macro signals from bond markets to CPI trends now suggest a more supportive environment for cryptocurrencies and other risk-sensitive assets.

Federal Reserve, White House interest-rate cut battle heats up
The post-pandemic inflation that's been squeezing your grocery and credit-card bills for years takes center stage in Washington in just days. That's when the Federal Reserve Board meets to consider interest rates, a gathering that the White House has been – to put it mildly – strongly trying to influence. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter The Trump Administration wants the Fed to slash rates immediately by almost half after May inflation and job rates basically held steady despite fidgety action earlier this year. Trump and others say this is to keep the nation from sliding into a recession, or worse, stagflation. Related: CPI inflation report resets interest rate cut bets Many economists say the central bank can't ignore the potential impact to inflation from zigzagging U.S. tariffs in the next three to six months. Energy and oil prices are now considerations due to the latest Middle East conflict. Federal Reserve Board Chair Jerome Powell has been the target of President Trump's usual brash manner towards opponents. The president has taunted the chairman with a string of nasty names and other insults. The most recent invective: "Numbskull.'' Trump's ratcheting rhetoric includes allusions to installing a "shadow" Fed president until Powell leaves on or before his term expires in May 2026. Powell has been mum about his gig and the president's efforts to squeeze him out of hisThe Federal Reserve's dual mandate is to set monetary policy that keeps inflation and unemployment low at the same time. This is often at odds because high interest rates lower inflation but cut jobs. Lower interest rates decrease unemployment rates but increase inflation. The central bank's Federal Open Market Committee, meeting June 17-18, controls the Federal Funds Rate that banks charge each other overnight to borrow money. When that rate goes up, so do interest rates – the cost of borrowing money for us all. This impacts Treasury bond yields, crucial to determining how much banks charge for mortgage rates. The post-pandemic housing market is stalled again this spring because of higher mortgage rates, a crunch hurting first-time or lower-income buyers while many sellers, especially older Americans looking to downsize, are stuck in their nests. The current Federal Funds Rate is between 4.25% and 4.50%. Trump said he wants a cut of 2.0%, up from his earlier demand of 1.0 %, after the May Jobs and CPI reports were cooler than expected. This would add $600 billion back in the pockets of Americans, the president claimed. But not everybody's buying it. Related: Fed official revamps interest-rate cut forecast for rest of this year Economists and market analysts say the Federal Reserve is being prudent because the full depth and breadth of Trump's tariffs and trade deals' economic impact are uncertain. Raphael W. Bostic, president and chief executive officer of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, said in a recent conference call with reporters that he's "very cautious about jumping to cuts at this point." Bank of America analysts, in a note to clients, said it was unlikely there would be additional cuts to the Federal Funds Rate in 2025 but added that 2026 looked promising. While market watchers expect the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates by 1% next year, the White House is maintaining that the cuts must come now. Related: Bank of America unveils surprising Fed interest rate forecast for 2026 Trump said a drop in interest rates, coupled with his "One Big Beautiful Bill" being chewed over by Congress, would boost the tepid economy. The lagging housing market would get an especially big boost. American consumers have embraced the tariffs with China, Mexico, Canada, and the trade wars, the Trump administration says. Not so fast, say economists, who maintain that tariff-driven lags could start to drag the prices of goods and services in 30 to 90 days as manufacturers and retailers pass the costs onto their customers. Powell is one of the few government officials the president can't fire or 'DOGE' from a job. Trump compensates by slamming Powell with derogatory nicknames like "Mr. Too Late" and a "Major Loser" for the Fed's cautious approach to a rate cut. The president is so ticked that he's threatened to install a "shadow president" to ride out Powell's remaining days. By nominating a new Fed head before Powell's term expires, the expectation is that Powell will resign. Multiple names have bubbled up for that role, with the latest being Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent who's actually been on the same pipe as Trump stoking for a Powell exit. There's no comment from the Fed on the FOMC meeting or Powell on the president. Expectations are interest rates will remain the same in June after the FOMC meets. Central banks in China, Switzerland, the U.K., Japan and Brazil are also expected to decide on interest rates in the coming days.

Trump declares massive income ahead of 79th birthday bash
Trump declares massive income ahead of 79th birthday bash originally appeared on TheStreet. President Donald Trump is celebrating his 79th birthday today. Often called "the first crypto president," he was born on June 14, 1946 in New York and became the president of the U.S. for the second time in January this year. Trump's second term has seen his administration pursue an aggressive pro-crypto policy. However, the involvement of him and the Trump family with multiple crypto ventures has also raised eyebrows. On June 13, the president filed a public financial disclosure with the Office of Government Ethics, which revealed that he earned approximately $600 million in revenue, with his several golf resorts themselves contributing $217.7 million. Trump's engagement with the crypto project, World Liberty Financial (WLFI), earned him $57.35 million in income. In addition, Trump also holds 15.75 billion WLFI tokens. His personal crypto wallet is valued at between $1,000,001 and $5 million. World Liberty Financial is a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol that was co-founded in 2024 by Zach Witkoff, the son of Trump's old confidante and the U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff. While the president himself is the chief crypto advocate at the project, his sons Donald Jr., Eric, and Barron act as its ambassadors. The Trump family holds a 60% stake in the project. The president also raked in millions of dollars in royalty payments from the sale of branded items, such as fragrances, sneakers, watches, etc. In addition to World Liberty Financial, the Trump family is involved with multiple crypto projects, such as the TRUMP and MELANIA meme coins, the USD1 stablecoin, Bitcoin mining, and crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

Crypto legislation just had a 'gigantic' week. Here's why.
Bitcoin (BTC=F) is holding above $100K despite market jitters tied to tensions in the Middle East. Axios crypto reporter Brady Dale joins Morning Brief host Brad Smith to break down the pivotal week in crypto legislation and what congressional stablecoin action could mean for bitcoin. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Morning Brief here. Bitcoin is still holding above the $100,000 level but losing some ground as stocks slump amid increasing Mideast tension. We're taking a look at crypto-related stocks as well, including Coinbase, also largely lower along with the broader market. So does this spell the end of the Rico rally for right now, or could impending legislation. And a crypto friendly administration proved to be a boost. I wanna bring in Brady Dale, Axio's crypto reporter here. Brady, good to have you back on the program with us. Just take us into your evaluation of what the mindset around riskier portions of the investment thesis, riskier assets like crypto, especially within the broader playing out of the Middle East tensions right now, how that is typical and what we should expect this time around. Yeah, I mean, I think probably what investors are looking at is does this war get a lot worse? And so I think that's why some people backed out. Now, keep in mind, the amount that, uh, Bitcoin is down right now is roughly 2% and, in the crypto markets, that could have just been like a very lackluster Tuesday. You know, I mean, the markets can easily move that much on nothing at all. So really this is kind of a smaller shift down than I would have. Expected for something that could end up being so much bigger than it has become so far. Yeah, certainly. It's also been a big week we know for cryptocurrency. You've got everyone from the president even opining in and weighing in. I saw our own Brian Sazi, executive editor, post a video where even at the most recent conference that was taking place here in New York, there is still within the conversation this willingness or want and desire. To make sure that the administration is positioning itself as continuously crypto friendly, how's that playing out? I mean this was a gigantic week in crypto legislation, um, you know, more in the Congress side, um, genius, the Genius Bill, which is about stablecoins, uh, got a cloture vote for a second time in the Senate, teamed up for a very likely final passage vote sometime I think we're looking at Tuesday right now, uh, and so that's been a big fight in the Senate and then over in the House, uh, two different committees, uh, the Ad committee and the House Financial Services Committee. Voted the Clarity Act to the floor, and that's an act that would just sort of decide how disclosures and regulations would work for cryptocurrency. And then on top of that, the final big regulator got a hearing in the in the Senate, Brian Quintends the CFTC. So it was a gigantic week in crypto legislation. If the stablecoin legislation is able to move forward, what what does that mean for, of course, the poster child of crypto in in Bitcoin? Uh, yeah, that is the big interesting question. You know, historically, thus far, when, uh, there has been more activity of really any kind in the cryptocurrency market, like, you know, your viewers might remember the ICO craze of 2017, which was really all about Ethereum, that drove a ton of, uh, value to Bitcoin regardless. So that's what we'd expect. But you know, it could be that these things are starting to decouple. You know, stablecoins are a financial utility. People can use them for a lot of reasons that have nothing to do with Bitcoin, so it could be that stablecoins explode and we see a modest bump to Bitcoin, but no direct gigantic gain. Or it could be that the explosion of stablecoins brings a lot more energy to Bitcoin. We just, we just don't know right now. I mean, we're entering into a very new world. Yeah, I imagine some of the prominent profiles that were promoting ICOs, and then got dinged by the SEC certainly remember that period very well. Barry, thanks so much for taking the time. Thank you.
