How Crypto Markets Are Reacting Post-Selloff, With Election/Fed Uncertainty Ahead
Jason Pagoulatos, head of markets at Delphi Digital, explains why crypto markets rebounded quickly from the rout this week, why ETH has underperformed BTC and SOL in 2024, and how Fed and election uncertainty might affect crypto.
After the unwinding of the Japan carry trade, the weak jobs report, and Jump’s dumping of ETH slammed crypto prices earlier this week, Jason Pagoulatos, head of markets at Delphi Digital, gives his insights on where prices are headed. He explains why he thinks Ethereum has underperformed so far in 2024, how the ETH ETFs might impact the price as outflows from Grayscale’s ETHE dwindle, and how the election, moves by the Fed, and the adoption of Bitcoin ETFs by Morgan Stanley advisors will affect BTC.
