Fed’s first post-shutdown decision

The Federal Reserve’s two-day Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting kicks off on the 29th of October, with markets focused on whether policymakers will deliver a 25 basis point rate cut.

This is the first Fed gathering since the U.S. government shutdown, triggered by partisan gridlock over health insurance funding.

Investors are largely pricing in a rate reduction, which would bring the federal funds rate down from 4%-4.25%, the level set after the previous 25 bps cut on the 17th of September.

A move to ease policy could inject fresh liquidity into the crypto market. David Hernandez, Crypto Investment Specialist at 21Shares, told AMBCrypto,

More upside for Bitcoin

Following rising expectations of a Fed rate cut, analysts view Bitcoin’s recent breakout as a key turning point.

Market expert Michael van de Poppe called the $112,000 mark a “crucial resistance zone.” Once Bitcoin broke through it, he said, the bull market was clearly still intact.

Moreover, he expected a short pullback before the FOMC meeting, after which Bitcoin could aim for a new all-time high in November.

Adding to the optimism, on-chain data showed that whale 0x960B deposited 3.72 million USDC into Hyperliquid [HYPE] in the past nine hours. Afterward, the whale opened 15x leveraged longs.

This involves $27.7 million invested in 240 BTC and $20.3 million in 4,874 Ethereum [ETH], signaling a surge in investor confidence ahead of the Federal Reserve’s upcoming decision.

Hernandez noted, 

Looking ahead, Hernandez expects Bitcoin to potentially surpass its previous $125,000 high by year-end, driven by growing institutional demand and improving macroeconomic conditions.

The Beijing Procuratorate announced a case of illegal USDT cross-border foreign exchange transactions involving over 1.1 billion yuan.

PANews reported on October 29th that, according to a report by 21st Century Business Herald, on October 28th, the Beijing Municipal People's Procuratorate released "Typical Cases of High-Quality and Efficient Performance of Financial Procuratorial Duties" (2024-2025). One case involved "using virtual currency to indirectly buy and sell foreign exchange, involving over 1.1 billion yuan." Between January and August 2023, Lin Jia, under the instruction of others, colluded with Lin Yi, Xia, Bao, and Chen to use multiple bank cards under their names to receive large amounts of RMB funds transferred from clients (such as Liu) connected to the "upstream" of an illegal currency exchange organization. This gang used virtual currency as a "bridge" to achieve the illegal purpose of cross-border fund transfers: Lin Jia and others converted the received RMB into USDT through multiple USDT trading platform accounts they actually controlled, and then completed the cross-border fund transfer through platform transactions, essentially engaging in disguised foreign exchange trading and profiting from it. According to the report, the total illegal business activities of the gang amounted to over 1.182 billion yuan, of which five members, including Xia and Bao, participated in activities ranging from over 149 million yuan to over 469 million yuan. On March 21, 2025, the Haidian District People's Court of Beijing issued a first-instance verdict, sentencing all five defendants to prison terms ranging from two to four years for the crime of illegal business operations, and imposing corresponding fines.
