What’s in the Crypto Nutshell Portfolio?

BREAKING: Bitcoin Tumbles Back to $110K on Fed's Powell's Hawkish Comments

As expected, The Fed cuts rates again this week.

And instead of rallying, Bitcoin slipped back to $111K, down almost 2% on the day…

It should have been bullish. A rate cut means cheaper borrowing and more risk-taking.

But this one came with a warning.

Jerome Powell called the expected December cut “far from a foregone conclusion.”

And that single line flipped the market.

Traders who had priced in easy money got hit with reality.

Stocks and crypto dropped in sync.

Bitcoin fell as low as $109K, breaking below short-term support. RSI readings flirted with oversold levels on the 4-hour chart, and prediction markets on Myriad saw bullish odds slide from 75% to 58%.

Still, the bigger picture hasn’t changed.

The Fed’s benchmark rate is now at its lowest level in three years, and balance sheet reduction will stop on December 1. (aka QT is coming to an end)

Liquidity is coming - just not fast enough for impatient traders…

Analysts remain split.

Oxford Economics warned that “future moves are becoming more contentious” while Coin Bureau’s Nic Puckrin said Bitcoin is showing a “potential double top pattern” with “daily volumes dropping off a cliff.”

Yet 21Shares strategist Matt Mena sees the setup differently:

Short-term sentiment has once again turned shaky.

But the long-term story hasn’t changed. ⚡

Crypto trading is broken - it’s complicated, fragmented, and expensive.

But here's what the pros know: there are still thousands of hidden gems, you just need the right platform to catch them before everyone else.

When the son of the U.S. President starts talking up Bitcoin on a mainstream podcast, you have to pay attention.

On The Iced Coffee Hour, Eric Trump, executive vice president of the Trump Organization and son of Donald J. Trump, said what almost no government official has dared to say out loud:

Pressed on why, Eric didn’t hesitate:

He even called out Germany for selling its Bitcoin stash too early - a move that cost them billions in potential gains.

Eric’s argument is simple:

If governments hold gold, bonds, and foreign reserves to protect their wealth, why not hold Bitcoin, the best-performing asset of the modern era?

When asked if the government should actively be buying Bitcoin to add to their stash, he left no room for interpretation:

When the son of the leader of the free world says the U.S. government should be actively buying Bitcoin…

You know he gets it.

When conversations like this are happening in the Oval Office… you know what comes next. ⚡

Time for check in on Ethereum’s supply side dynamics.

To do that we’ll be focusing on the amount of Ethereum currently being staked.

Quick Note: Ethereum staking involves locking up ETH to support the blockchain’s security. In return, users earn rewards for staking.

If you’d like to learn more about staking, check out this article.

35.7 million ETH is now locked in staking - up +1.76M ETH this year, worth roughly $7.4 billion.

That’s 29.45% of the entire supply, almost one-third of all Ethereum off the market.

This isn’t background noise. It’s a slow-burn supply squeeze in motion.

Every week, more ETH vanishes into staking contracts while liquid supply keeps drying up.

And when demand finally collides with a shrinking float…

ETH doesn’t just climb. It erupts. 🚀

Germany’s AfD urges government to treat Bitcoin as strategic asset. Germany’s main opposition party, AfD, has warned of MiCA overregulation, urging regulators to treat Bitcoin separately from other crypto assets and consider it as a strategic reserve asset.
