Will the Fed end QT soon? What it means for crypto? 🤔 JPMorgan expects the Federal Reserve to end its quantitative tightening program at the next FOMC meeting on October 28–29. That means the Fed will stop shrinking its balance sheet, which has dropped from nearly $9 trillion in 2022 to around $6.6 trillion today. 👉 Quantitative tightening (QT) is when the Fed lets bonds mature without buying new ones. It drains liquidity from the financial system and usually pressures both yields and risk assets. The opposite, quantitative easing (QE), injects liquidity and tends to boost asset prices. Ending QT means the Fed is likely done removing money from the system. Liquidity stops shrinking, funding markets calm down, and yields may ease. This can lift sentiment across equities, bonds, and crypto. TLDR: more dollars in the system = higher prices of everything 📈 The decision comes after growing signs of liquidity stress and volatility in short-term funding markets. I think the Fed may be choosing stability over continued tightening. If QT really ends here, it’s a signal that the restrictive phase of policy is over, it opens the door for a softer stance — and markets are already front-running this ↗️ #FAQ

Trump Just Pardoned Convicted CZ — Crime is Legal ⚖️ Today President Trump granted a pardon to Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, the former CEO of Binance. CZ had previously pleaded guilty in 2023 and was fined billions in connection with regulatory issues 💰 The timing here raises eyebrows. In March 2025 a Trump-aligned firm called WLFI launched a stablecoin named USD1. In the same month MGX announced a $2 billion investment into Binance (was paid in USD1 — the stablecoin issued by World Liberty Financial). 🕐 Around the same time, CZ publicly revealed he had applied for a pardon. Now, in October 2025, the pardon is granted. The sequence seems too connected to ignore. Timeline Breakdown 🔴Nov 2023: CZ and Binance plead guilty and pay over $4 billion in fines. 🔴Mar 2025: WLFI launches USD1. 🔴Mar 2025: MGX declares a $2 billion investment into Binance. 🔴May 2025: That investment is paid in USD1. CZ acknowledges pursuing a pardon. 🔴Oct 2025: CZ is officially pardoned. USD1 is a stablecoin backed by U.S. Treasuries generating yield. If Binance holds USD1 ($2B investment) instead of redeeming it, the backing assets earn interest while exposure remains in digital form. With a $2 billion input, even conservative 4% yield translate into around $80m annually. WLFI (Trump backed), as issuer of USD1, stands to collect that yield. Binance benefits from large capital inflow and regulatory softening, CZ gets pardoned. EZ game 🕐🤝😐

This is probably how Cobie is walking around his house today 💰 Jordan Fish, better known as Cobie, is one of the most recognizable figures in crypto. He’s a trader, investor, and early builder who helped shape crypto Twitter culture. 🎙 He also created UpOnly, a podcast that once defined crypto discussion, bringing traders, founders, and degens together before going silent two years ago. 😂 Recently, Cobie listed a joke NFT for $25 million, which gave the buyer the right to demand eight new episodes of UpOnly with him and Ledger. Yesterday, Coinbase bought that NFT. Today, Coinbase announced it’s acquiring Echo, Cobie’s crypto investing platform, for $375 million 💸 This dude just keeps winning, over and over again

Why You Shouldn’t Short Pre-Market Tokens 😨 Pre-market futures let you trade a token before it even exists on spot, because TGE didn't yet happen. 👌👌 Going long 1x is usually fine. You’re just gaining exposure and can't be liquidated. Shorting, on the other hand, can be very risky. Pre-markets have no liquidity, no oracles tied to spot market, no real price discovery. Books are empty, and a few large players can move price wherever they want. One quick pump can erase every short, this already happened on Hyperliquid, MEXC and Gateio. 😱 Traders trying to hedge airdrops or fade inflated valuations often get trapped. There’s nothing to anchor price, no spot market to arbitrage against, and no liquidity to exit through. If you really need to hedge before TGE, use isolated margin and reduce collateral so liquidation sits near your stop. Never rely on stop losses to trigger on these trading pairs ❗️ #FAQ

Short-term Bitcoin holders are deep in the red again 😭 This chart shows that every time their loss ratio spiked to similar levels, BTC found a local bottom soon after 😮 Capitulation from short-term traders often sets up the next leg higher. If the pattern repeats, this could be the start of another accumulation phase. But if not... 🤣

How to Increase Your Luck Surface Area in Crypto 🍀 You can’t control luck, but you can control how often luck can find you. “Luck surface area” means the number of opportunities your actions expose you to. The more you experiment, learn, and connect — the more likely you are to be in the right place when the next big thing happens 🤞 Success often comes from being early, curious, and connected. Here’s how to expand your surface area 👇 1️⃣Try new things on-chain. Every cycle rewards people who experiment early. Airdrops, new chains, and emerging projects always start quietly. The ones testing small amounts and interacting directly often catch asymmetrical plays. 2️⃣Keep learning, stay active. Crypto evolves fast, meta changes every few weeks. Reading, exploring new protocols, and trying new stuff in DeFi keeps you close to opportunities. 3️⃣Bear markets are filters. Surviving long enough in this market, holding conviction, keeping liquidity, buying bottoms, and keeping stables to deploy = gives you a chance when most have left. 4️⃣Build your circle. Having a few people to think with, learn with, and share alpha with is priceless. Good chats keep you accountable, open new doors, and help you spot what others miss. 5️⃣Be visible on Crypto Twitter. Crypto lives on X. Being active there, building reputation, and having followers with real engagement exposes you to endless deal flow, collaborations, and early signals. A well-built account on CT can change your life. #FAQ @CoinPost

The Fear & Greed index for U.S. stock market sits at Extreme Fear while SPX is only 2.2% from away from ATH, lol. Gold keeps printing new highs above $4,300 almost every day. Weird times 😱 U.S. regional banks are wobbling again, put–call and VIX say hedging is heavy, and crypto took the hit first with BTC touching $103.3k today 🔽 This is the kind of news where you start planning your entries. My plan is simple. I will scale into bitcoin between here and $96k. 🟠 That means staggered bids, not all at once. Position size stays modest and I leave room for DCA. I want exposure before the crowd flips back to greed. If stress worsens, the invalidation keeps the damage small ✅ @CoinPost

MegaETH, one of the most anticipated new Ethereum Layer 2 projects, opened registration for its public token sale, hosted on the same platform that ran this summer’s Plasma launch 🔍 🔗 The sale will take place HERE through Sonar, Echo’s investing platform by Cobie. Registration is open from October 15 to October 27, and users must first create an account and complete KYC on Echo before they can participate. The $MEGA sale will use an English-style auction with a fixed ceiling price, you will be able to pay in USDT on Ethereum. 50% of tokens unlock at TGE, and the rest vest linearly over 6 months. ⚡️ MegaETH positions itself as the “first real-time blockchain” (it will be super fast) capable of over 100,000 TPS and sub-millisecond latency, with major backers including Dragonfly and Vitalik Buterin. I think this is a good opportunity to get easy 3x-5x, and I plan to participate @CoinPost
