Description

Crypto markets grind higher on low volatility as last week’s inflation data reinforced expectations for a Fed rate cut this week. Hosts Imran Lakha (Options Insight) and David Brickell (FRNT), joined by Usman Naeem (Global Head of Derivatives Sales and Trading at Coinbase), discuss whether this cut will spark crypto’s next leg up, given equities’ new highs and Bitcoin’s consolidation post-record levels. They discuss Coinbase’s recent acquisition of Deribit and what it means for the future of crypto options, institutional hedging driving put skew, and the maturing crypto market with digital asset treasuries (DATs) and DeFi growth. A Goldilocks macro backdrop—falling yields, strong liquidity, and no over-leverage—suggests a potential crypto melt-up in year-end. Like and subscribe for more!
