So how does this tie into a #cryptostock strategy?
1. Layer in tokenized stocks alongside crypto pairs like BTC/USDT or ETH/USDC to capture upside when volatility from Fed/tariff news reâbalances markets.
2. Hedge with stablecoins and equities: Fedâs cautious tone (no rate cuts until maybe September) implies a more rangeâbound environmentâideal for balancing between yield and safety.
3. Trade the news cycle: Powellâs remarks sharpen sensitivity to macro triggers. Be ready to adjust allocations as inflation data or trade headlines drop.
